    as asked in the other thread about the zerks, get your 1/4" (i think) open end wrench and press down on the zerk with your thumb while turning them tighter being careful not to cross thread. with mine I could feel the zerk want to catch the thread it just needed a little pressure to help it along

    I took less pictures of opening the rest of the gear that I ordered- and I'm going to bed....so they'll be up some time tmrw...but the front shocks, coils, 3 pack AAL, and brake lines all showed up.
    Sadly- I realized when I finalized the order I zoned out and missed that the N182's were not on it- SOOO...I already sent Jason an e-mail to get that fixed ASAP.

    Photos to follow in the AM...Lift to happen SOON!!

    So after I got that box earlier this month- and realized that I didn't order rear shocks...I did some hunting and found a good deal from TRDParts4U.com. Ordered last week and they arrived today.

    So with that...I have my full set up.

    Front: 885's with OME Shocks and TC UCAs and stainless brake lines (Thanks to AlaskaFlyer for the top plates and Wheelers offroad for the deal on the UCAs and the rest of the parts!!)
    [​IMG]

    Rear: Wheelers 3 Pack AAL with Custom painted (I don't like the yellow color- so I shot some black over it...No sweat) OME shocks and extended rear brake lines.
    [​IMG]


    The whole set up:
    [​IMG]

    Now I just need to get it on the truck....Not this weekend but maybe next!!:cool:

    Group buy-but call them and see what you can work out...They were great to me.

    Paint your rims?? Dash?? Rims- I used Duplicolor Regular paint....Probably going to use something similar for the dash.

    I hope I answered that...

    Wish me luck!!!

    LOL..It's a race stand...but I think I should scrap that photo..cause you aren't the first one to ask!!

    It was free dude...and I had all the tools I could ever imainge....I ran outta time- Have to install the rear shocks still.

    Sadly I goon'd up and didn't bring my REAL camera...and I forgot to keep taking cell phone pics....so it's not well documented at all....OOPS.

    Final results soon...

    So the Over all changes were:

    Driver Front: 2 2/16"
    Driver Rear: 1 3/16"
    Passenger Front: 2"
    Passenger Rear: 1 6/16"

    Left to Right Difference-The Taco Lean
    Before: 5/16th Front & 3/16th Rear
    After: 2/16th Front & Dead Even Rear

    And all that lead to this (Click the pic for the link to more photos)

    One of the photos in there is a big hole in the dirt- After i drove over it. Poor mans locker SAVED MY ASS. My e-brake wasn't happy with me...but I managed to avoid having to call for help.

    Thanks to everyone who helped with out with info during my build thus far. Chris 4x4, Delmarva, The guys at Wheelers, and everyone else on the board for the encouragement.

    After my little adventure today convinced me that a locker and an OBA set up are going to be clutch soon. Skids and Recovery gear too.
    Anyone else have a good all inclusive list of "must haves" for a great trail/moderate wheeling rig??
