    First time doing the swivel pins was confusing. I can probably do it in 1/2 hour per side now.

    By "front U-joints" do you mean the front driveshaft or the CV joints/axles?

      I'm assuming you did it with the fish weight, etc?

      Discovery I - How To Adjust Your Swivel Pin Preload - Swivel pin preload determines the amount of tension required to turn the wheels. If the preload is too tight it will be difficult to turn the wheel and may cause wear on the steering system, If the preload is too loose the truck will tend to steer itself based on...


      I had to register to see the pics, but after reading through and putting it all together in my head it seems easy enough.

                  Few pictures of my new pile. I spent some time yesterday blasting most of the moss and crap out of all the gutters and cracks, also cleaned up the interior. The interior is in great shape, except for the headliner. What is the usual method for repairing this? Just stripping it all out?








                  Got my first large parts order coming in from Blunt, next up is a suspension kit to give it an extra inch or so of clearance, and replace the saggy stock springs

                    Wait, you? are RAISING a car? Are you feeling okay? Going to scrape on the rocks for good old times though right?

                    Replaced the CD changer on mine today, small victories.
