So Ive had the roll up cover for a month now....love it!

Did have a lil mishap tho, I bet one of the latches with a tire that was in the bed and rolled back. Since the latch is aluminum, all i did was take it off...put it on the vise and hammered it back into shape

As some of u know, i also picked up a set of declads....those will be going on soon too!

I test fitted one last night and it looks like Ive got to sand off the coating on the hub bore....I didnt think it would interfere, but it was a pain to get the wheel on/off...so I'll be sanding it off before I mount my tires.

I had also been chasing down a stupid noise in my front end...at first I thought it was a bj or something, turns out my pass side inner tie rod is worn so I ordered a reman AC Delco rack (Rockauto had best price @$158) but the noises wasnt when turning.

Video page
Full screen

Pulled the wheel off, started wiggling shit n whatnot...turned out to be loose brake pads

Ive never replaced the shims in the 77k miles Ive owned it and lawd knows how many miles those shims had already on em...Ive just swapped pads n rompd since my rotors looked fine n never got steering wheel shakes when stopping. Well, turns out these things do wear out and will let the pads move around....no worries, I had the new ones from when I installed the current pads on there now. Slapped those on and noise is gone

ACDelco

Steering rack was pissing fluid like crazy

This thing was $157 plus 150 core...well worth the money. I swapped out the bushings tho, I put some Daystar polyurethane bushings pn KG06001BK...really tightens up the steering feels

Flushed out the chocolate steering fluid

After 3 cycles of sucking out the ressi and then firing it up again

Ordered some amsoil power steering fluid and a cardone power steering filter...this lil guy is badass...has a magnet and is serviceable.

Didnt get to install these yet, since I was running out of time and didnt wanna fuck around with height/length adjustments...plus i thought i wasnt gonna run em but after figuring them out, im gonna install them this week along with my poly swaybar bushings pn 3.5213R.

got dem there heims installed

Ride height

Full droop

Angle looks good, ready for an alignment

Also got the swaybar bushings on, fit perfectly....didnt have time for the end links, but thats up next
