Man, I haven’t been on here in ages! Great progress Tom!

Just picked up a set of All Pro leaf springs from another TW member. Pick up the bushings tomorrow, then install this weekend or next week.

I still hate the auto, but other than that, I love the truck.

Got a rear bumper off a TW member. Mine was a little messed up from work. looks much better now.

It lives and breathes! Well, at least it lives… Breathing might take a bit more…

Congrats on the success so far!

I had a ford Aerostar that you damn near had to drop the engine to change the back plugs.

Good plan! Well worth the $$

When I worked at TMMC, I had access to TIS. It came in real handy!

[Slick_Yota]

nice score!

Try the Seafoam Deep Creep! That stuff is the shit!

[Slick_Yota]

I noticed those as well!

[Slick_Yota]

Man, I barely have time to look at my shit, let alone the neighbour’s stuff!

[Slick_Yota]

Living the dream! Looks awesome!

I ran the 5100’s on my old Taco. Couldn’t complain about the ride.

Figured out the squeak noise. It was my sway bar rubbing on the Elka’s coils. The spring sits lower on the Elkas, so you need the sway bar relocate bracket (which I did not have, since I didn’t need it with the Billies).

Took the sway bar off… All good now! I did buy a relocate bracket off Amzon, guess I’ll reinstall it eventually…

When you start digging into someone else’s project, you always come across head scratchers. Digging into the wiring of my hot rod, I found that NONE of the wires had been soldered… just twist, tape and hope they stay together (which some didn’t). I feel your pain!

[Slick_Yota]

lol, good idea!
