Okay, if y'all want me to keep watching, all that organizing and cleaning while you work garbage has got to end! What fun is watching y'all know exactly where to find whatever tool you need? You make me sick and could learn a lot about disorganization from me

fj80 elocker, modifying the housing to fit it. We're cleaning off the old loose paint now so the new paint will stick and keep it from rusting. Once it's clean we'll push the truck the rest of the way in and start removing the IFS.

ACK! I look away for a few minutes, and next thing I see is a rig without tires, and two legs, that appear to be from a dead guy, sticking out from under the rig!
<<whew>> There, the dead guy moved, and I see jack stands now hehe

Have you, or are you going to, rotate the knuckles? From what I can see, it looks like you may have alread done it (looks to have some caster on it from my view)

Shouldn't need to, gonna see where it is but my mounts are pretty much the same angle as stock solid axle rigs.

I can't hear anymore... I had to give up the 'puter with sound to the wife, so I'm watching from the garage while doodlin' around on the guitar hehe
And, just in case Rob is reading this, NO, I'M NOT PLAYING CALL OF KTHULU AGAIN!!! (that song seems to have some bad juju when I play it) hehehe

This is better than any darn movie I have ever seen. I give it 2 thumbs WAY UP!!!! I dont have to pay for great on the spot movie making. Plus I can eat drink whatever I can get my hands on and I dont have to rob a bank to pay for it. Not only that, someone other than me is tearing their front off(but they are putting a better front end on)!!!!!! I will soon follow!!!!! Hey if all need some food or drinks I would be more than willing to get them and drive out that way!!! So y'all can keep working....hehehehe, I just want to see the work in progress!!!!
Nice work Shane. Keep it going.

Shane dude, you've been going all day. Find a stopping point so you can be fresh tomorrow and get the SAS done! It has been a blast to watch in real time the transfermation from crap(IFS) to kewl(straight axle). Thanks for putting it on!!!!!
Get some rest and be refreshed for tomorrow.
