Well front suspension finally shipped.

I also ordered Elevated Concepts Rack and Pinion conversion kit.

She goes into the shop on 4/11. I believe for a week, maybe 2. Just the suspension and steering upgrades. POR15 the frame, freshen it up.

Only thing I’m waiting on is the wheels right now. Praying those come before 4/11 so i can just have it all done in one shot.
Can't wait for the after pics.

So the suspension install got pushed back until next week due to scheduling.

I got a bug up my ass today and decided to finally install the factory valance and fog lights. Such a big difference. Looks much nicer.

That does look way better. Better watch out for curbs though.

Not a whole lot to report. Front end is pretty much done. Needed a new steering shaft for the rack and pinion conversion so that came today. Ran into some clearance issues on the passenger side of the truck due to the SMOG equipment hitting the coilover bracket. That has since been handled.

I need to look into wether I should remove the entire smog system from the truck and what it entails. Or leave it as is.

Anywho… about all i got right now.
