Thank's guy's! I am so excited that things are actually ripping on this project after so long! Checked in at CHAOS today and looks like we have a slight delay. Lower part of steering knuckles have a needle bearing and seal that needs to be replaced-both sides on the dana60. Rare part I'm told, about a week to get them at about $200.00! Also, sandblaster shop guy is on vacation for a few days, but it's all good! So far about $600.00 into front and rear rebuild, including the lower bearing kits. Oh, that doesn't account for the $$ spent on Ballistic high steer/crossover, and the rear disc conversion. But it is awesome to see some progress on this, and I have a few months here before the snow flies. Looking at October as a trail run date, so am staying focused on this project! I will post up some some pic's asap!
