    Forgot I'm going to the range Thursday. Probably not touching it till Friday. Between now and then I plan on picking up a pneumatic chisel to show the old camber tabs who's boss.

    I lost track thousands of dollars ago.
    Yeah I did a lot of thinking and I'm going to wait for a wile to do my SAS. So mid travel for now and after running Hell hole a few weeks ago my IFS proved itself and that's about as crazy as i want to take my truck on for now " I kinda like my paint" and SAS will make me push my truck harder and harder. So I dropped about $2000 on armor and a new front suspension setup.

    Hey now! We're from NorCal. There's a difference!

    And it's not "Long Travel." It's just coil overs and UCA's.

    I've been working out the kinks in my truck. Drove it today to work and still had a weird ABS issue when coming to a slow stop on dry ground. ABS would kick in for half a second right before stopping. I've just changed so many damn things with this truck it was kinda hard to track down what the problem might be. The rear ABS sensors had to be removed when I pulled the axles to pull the differential. The front sensors got unplugged when I did the bucket gussets. The VSS wire (which apparently is tied to ABS somewhere) got tapped when I did the navi.

    It was driving me bonkers. I pulled the rear sensors out again today and cleaned them up real good and noticed one of the rubber o-rings broke on one sensor. I think it was enough for it to wiggle under braking pressure. Anyhow replaced the o-ring and all seems well for now. I'll drive it again tomorrow and see what happens. Also threw a couple check engine lights today p0442 and p0446. I'm hoping it was because of the gas cap, but not really sure. I reseated the gas cap and reseated the EVAP connections and cleared the codes.

    Also got the new spark plugs in the truck and hooked up the URD 7th kit back up. Since you have to disconnect the battery to install it, the ECU has a clean slate. Hopefully the lights stay off.

    But to directly answer your question, I get my coilovers get delivered tomorrow. Bypasses are still being built, but I don't need them just yet anyhow. I'll be doing the TC camber gussets first so I'll probably start doing all the work either Wednesday or Friday. I hope to have everything done except the bypass/bypass hoops by this weekend.

    I'm not sure who was more excited to open the box, me or my oldest son. He just thinks deliveries are cool. :D

    I was going to wait and drive my truck one more day....but fuck it. No going back now! Whole front suspension is off except the main bolt through the UCA/Coil bucket. I had to rent a pitman arm puller from Kragen/Oreily to pull the ball joints and tie rod ends. Odly enough, it wasn't really a rental. I used it, brought it back, and they refuned all the money. Free rental?

    I removed 2 of the 8 factory camber tabs. What a bitch! Two of them took about 30 minutes...and that was a drill, grinding wheel and a pneumatic chisel. Glad I bought that air chisel after all.

    Yeah...something's missing:

    For those who are busy eating popcorn and waiting for the finished product....
    I didn't touch the truck today. I know I know, home stretch, but I needed a break for a night.

    Instead, here's a picture of some guns.
