'04 Overhaul (Operation: Blanco Taco)

Hey Everyone,

So like the title says, I'm overhauling my '04 that I purchased recently to get it to as close as new as possible condition.

I've combed thru the forums quite a bit, and given some of the symptoms my truck has, I know it has front end/steering issues, the shocks are toast, leafs are pretty tired, and the clutch is a bit little rough. I want to get all of this stuff dealt with before really altering it too much.

My truck is also 4x4, so I am open to any recommendations on things that would be a good idea to inspect/replace as for as 4x4 components.


Preliminary:

Intake Air Filter Replace (Done)
Spark Plug Replace (Done)
Inspect MAF (Done)
Inspect Throttle Plate (Done)​

Phase I:

Steering rack & pinion
Steering rack bushings
Inner tie rods
Outer tie rods
Shocks all around
Front shock bushings
Strut Mount
Upper ball joins
Lower Ball Joints​

Phase II (Starting the fun stuff):

Line-x
Hitch
Rear Bumper w/ Tire and gas can rack
Shell OR Tonneau cover / rack for storage box, bikes, boards, etc.
Largest KO2s I can get w/o lift
Bluetooth Stereo​

Thanks for looking!

Will upload photos as progress is made!
