Alright I'll play............since I'm in the middle of my annual 'state of the HOE'...unfortunately the maintenance/repairs currently ate the 'cool stuff; budget for now...

1) fix rear axle seals/bearings (rig is currently at the spa getting done)

2) fix trans and engine line leaks (rig is currently at the spa getting done)

3) new fluids for everyone...2x diffs, transfer case, engine, trans (....included in spa treatment:)

4) replace blend door actuator (replaced yesterday...some of those bolts are kinda of *****...but done and works great)

5)Front end rebuild...balls, arms, hubs, ties, and links....maybe shocks, but 1st need to see whats shaking......(looks like I'll just need balls, arms, and links...hubs are ok....ordering this week for next weekend install)

6) Get tuned....got a diablosport i2030 last week...turned off afm, tm, firm shift, tire size and 87 oct.

7) new bushing for Eibach sway bars ft and rear...ordered waiting arrival...
(Also picking up some Tef Gel to smoother those new bushings in..supposed to be the trick to keeping them moving freely and squeak free.)

8) Lowering.....I would really like to do nice 2/4 kit (bell tech or other).....but I think I want to find a shop to do Free drop mod 1st before I jump into it.....

That's what I'm talking about, brother.

Long list? Maybe.

But it's a REAL LIST.

Thanks for sharing.

@Red Rocket you get the control arms and install 'em yet?

WTF?

They're coming Wednesday so next weekend if the weather holds. The upper Moog's will be here at the same time. I'm a driveway mechanic since my garage is only big enough to work on a Harley lol.
