85 Front axle repairs
SUCK! man i spent all damn day doing it (rebuilding knuckles, longs and 5.29s) Just to trash both brand new axle seals
Then only be able to finish one side due to the lack of parts. PLUS they won't get here till monday. So Just to let you all know, if you have to do it, save up a day and take your damn time. and use these

And i trimmed my fenders, looks like crap but with the 37s everything levels out.

DAMN that sucked, usually the 2nd side is easier, but hell no. Not today. Nothing went right, so it took me all damn day to do the other side, but its done, and turns AWESOME! Tommorrow i need to put in my rear 5.29s and my 37 on. Then get ready for this weekend.
