^^ Yes!

You are doing things right. Keeping yourself organized takes out the frustration of "where do these bolts go".

Just working on things a bag or two at a time will make the bags of parts less scary.

The picture would be much scarier if all of those parts were just rolling around in a box somewhere, unlabeled!

Good luck!

Headlight swap to H4 7” IPF and Amazon LEDs was almost too easy! Man they are bright!

Looking great!

How's your camber after the ball joint spacer install?
I had to bring mine in quite a bit.

You are progressing so quickly. It's fun to watch. I've fallen behind on mine!

Minor progress. Trimmed Upper A-Arms to hopefully fit 32’s later this week. And installed some small stuff.

Rear Bumper is done. It was a bear! One bolt broke off for the mounting brackets and I had to drill it out. Glad this one is done and all worked out in the end.

I’m sure my alignment is off. I’ll do a driveway alignment once all the weight is back in.

Not Ideal! The ‘85 flawless front wheel well moldings don’t fit the ‘87 - ugh! So I did my best to fix my damaged ones and put them on till I find a replacement.

Also so installed the power antenna with the new mast.

As you may have seen from my other thread on the topic, I’m a little worried about the 32x11.50s rubbing on the upper A-Arm now that the 1.5” BJ spacers have pushed the upper arm up and toward the tire more.

I trimmed the lip on the Upper A-Arm and added a thin 1/4” wheel Spacer in the front. Let’s hope they clear - abou 1“ clearance right now.

Work was busy today. Knocked out a few small things like door locks and handles. Will get started again later tonight.
