I don't have the technical know-how. That and I've got a whole lot of stuff to crunch into the next few months - find a new place to live, readjust my budgeting, promote and train shift supervisors, finish up my degree...
yeah, I'm probably going to take the easy way out

I've got videos! 
I took Steve's raw JPGs and cut them into a movie for your viewing pleasure.
I did three different ones. All are cut at 6 frames/second and run 2:11 in length. The difference is in resolution, frame size and file size.
My ISP would prefer you to "right click" and save locally for playing. Enjoy!
btw... As you watch the video, you come to realize that Steve did this all in basically just _one_ day. There were 789 jpgs, each taken at 1 minute intervals, so that's just a bit more than 13 hours.

Looks good gents.
Also looks like a nice place to hang a solid axle if a person needed to. Those hoists are nice and sure beat laying down to work on stuff.

You guys are quite welcome for the video - thanks for the thanks!
If anyone would like an even lower resolution one (i.e., "smaller") lemme know. I don't think I can get it much below a 3meg(ish) filesize at 320x240 and still have it reasonable, but I'm willing to try if the 6 meg isn't palatable for your connection.

the reason being, is that if im going to put a front locker in, im going to do it right and put in an ARB. but this time around, with everything else going on, the funds just didnt permit it. when i find that i cant get by with just my rear locker, i might invest in a front one.

This tire WILL be on the ground.
So you vultures can start salivating over the Spidertrax arms, OME 4Runner rear shocks, CB spacers, OME trim packers and all the rest of the rear coil stuff I have.

Steve-I'd like to add the control arms to the "items that used to be on Schaefer's truck and are now on mine" list. If, you don't want too much for them. PM me a price and how long before you'll be parting with them.
