Great, Summit canceled my order for the steering box because Cardone doesn't have one in stock.
We'll see what I can come up with. Either way, I'm stuck for 3-5 days as summit holds my money.

I contacted summit and they ended up putting my box on back order.
If it takes longer than a couple weeks I'll go elsewhere. Probably Napa.
Got my steering shaft kit from TG today. Everything looks good.
Also got the front axle parts from my dad today. The knuckles and spindles need to be taken to the car wash, I might do that tomorrow.
Today I got to borrow a friends press so I could put my Marlin 25 MM pin kit and arms together.
The difference in size vs. stock. These are BEEF!
Special thanks, again, to Tom (Monkeyproof) for these FREE Marlin Crawler arms. Can't thank you enough!

Glad to see you finally embarking on this adventure. However, another advocate of IFS is now turned to the dark side. I hope you don't make things too easy for yourself.

Got my knuckles and spindles washed up today. Need more cleaning. There's 10 years of caked on grease on the knuckles. I'll probably soak them in something overnight soon.
Got the axles out of the tundra rear. Tried getting the 3rd out but the fipg has it very stuck. Will try again soon.
Got my brake brackets painted. Color matched them to the truck. Didn't feel like buying black paint and I had this stuff laying around.
That's all for today. Really can't do much else with the front axle until its under the truck.

Went over to the storage unit today to drop off my steering shaft u-joint, my new manual hubs, and a set of free bilstein 12's I got from a friend. Also wanted to get the knuckles, spindles, and these manual hubs soaking in some purple power to get them a bit more clean.
The FROR hanger kit should be shipping this week.
I'll be buying the correct steering box in the next day or two after summit finally refunds my money.
After that, I'll have under $1000 of remaining parts that I need before I can start cutting.
I removed the AP shock hoops from my list. They probably won't work due to the location that my steering box will have to be in. I'll just grab some cheap tube and bend up my own.
Also, considering I found a power steering fluid that will work in both my stock power steering pump as well as the ford box, I won't be needing the PSC pump kit.
I just need to source the proper conversion lines.
Couple crappy pics for proof.
Will update more when I have more parts.

At least I know I'm not the only one who seems to do nothing but wait on parts. Progress is progress through and might as well have everything ready to go when go time comes...
Looks like fun though, keep it up.
I like that your still rocking the "pics or didn't happen" from way back.

Finally fully cleaned up the knuckles, spindles, and manual hubs.
Started prepping to get the knuckle bearing preload set up.
The Marlin Crawler 25MM lower caps have their own hardware, so I pulled those studs out of the knuckles. No biggie.
Lots of parts coming in tomorrow. Still waiting on a refund from summit to start ordering more parts.
