    Niiiice. Did your bumper ever hit anything down in that hole or were you fully sitting on your tires?

    Bumper never hit anything I don't think. Looks fine. But the bottom of my radiator is caked with mud. Still sorting that out.

    Anyone ever change a starter motor before?

    No, but those PDFs in your thread make it look simple enough. One thing I would note, when you pull the steering shaft apart I think I saw somewhere you should mark it before hand so you can match the splines back up correctly later.

    5100s Eibachs
    Just noticed this thread. I could make the 18th, 11th is a maybe and the 4th I'll be out of town. It's a haul from west FW over to your place but I'd love to see the trucks and maybe even get a little wrenching in. I need to get 5100's and eibachs in the front of my new 2012...assuming the eibachs show up sometime soon.

    Is there a decent place to get an alignment on a Saturday around there?

    While I've never been here, there is a place that does alignments just one mile up the road. I wonder if they have a spring compressor too.

    Good to know man. That's the kind of info I need before I get under there and blow shit up.

    I'm hoping I can just undo a few harnesses, clean them, and go along my merry way. That would be nice. If I have to remove the darn thing I'm going to mod it so it never happens again. It looks like a fairly sealed system. If it's not, it will be made that way.

    We can get a spring compressor from any autozone or o'reillys for a $50 deposit.
