no way did it come with 52" front springs
I call TYPO
What did it come with?
You know I am going to go measure it & take a pic for you...
You are correct sir:
My front springs are (+-) 47.5" arch length

longer break lines
Next up:
I don't like how tight these break lines are...
New master cylinder & braided stainless steel lines.
I refuse to install these until I clean up the garage.

Had to take a picture of a picture...stupid scanner
Steering correction

The guys at 4WP asked me WHY I wanted a drop pitman arm for a little 2.5" lift. Look at the pic above to see WHY.
Update: I installed the SS brake lines & Master cylinder. I ordered this pitman arm to correct the steering, drag link angle at full droop:

Did you get the garaged clean first?
I went out of town last weekend, my buddy who was watching the dogs cleaned up the garage for me!

wow, thats a good friend! hope he got some cold ones out of the deal...
He is a good friend, I went to Costa Rica for a week, he stayed there, no problem. When we got home, my GF's grandfather passed away & we had to leave again! He stayed again with no problem. When I was out he took the dogs on hikes,and he cleaned up the garage.He has been teaching me to weld. The guy even picked me up from the airport!

Pitman arm
This morning I worked on my steering:
The old next to the new.
Quick dry paint & a fan
Went & stretched it; notice the new SS break lines...

How to determmine gear ratio.
I cracked the case of the differential gear ratio mystery.
There is tons of threads about how to tell what gears you have. The most common way to tell is to lift the rear end & count the drive shaft revolutions per the tire revolutions. Here the process I did today:
First of all my RPO code is QG1 which is standard but I didn't what the standard was for my rig.
After safely lifting the rear axle I marked 6 o'clock on the tire and drive shaft as a starting point
At 1 rotations of the drive shaft the tire mark is at 9 o'clock
At 2 rotations of the drive shaft the tire mark is at 2 o'clock
At 3 rotations of the drive shaft the tire mark is nearly back at 6 o'clock
When the tire rotation ended at 6 o'clock this was the mark on the drive shaft.
According to the tape my gear ration is a little more than 3:1 , this would most likely indicate that I have a 3.08:1...

diff gear ratio
So I cracked the case
That's my locker
The magic numbers were 13 and 40.
Now 40/13 = 3.076. This means my gear ratio is 3.08:1.
Paint your diff cover every time you change the fluid; when it come time to repaint it your about due for a change.

I like that rule.
fender trimming
I never posted my fender trimming.
I cut the fender back to the firewall and added the 1 inch strip
I also welded the 2 pieces together all the way down to the bottom.
It don't need to look perfect, I'm just gonna go bash it on a rock or something.

There is a 4x4 training center out at the site where there are several obstacles for you to test the limits of your rig.

This one had broken Heeps around it so I thought I would give it a shot.
I have a video too!
