those will ahve to wait. I took it in for an alignment today and firestone said that the ball joints are so bad that it was not possible to align the front end. YAY more work!

*EDIT* just ordered me a full set of power performance ball joints.

That looks really nice. I wish I had the time, money and ability to do such. Really makes me miss my old 86 s-10, I've never liked driving anything as much as I did it.

Oh yeah, I had to replace my tranny this past week. I had to take off the transfer case to re-install it. It was so counterbalanced I couldnt get it in there by myself. I am going to do a bedliner kit to my 87, but i'm going to add some sand to it so it will have some more grip to it!

the sand is a good idea. I think i am going to add another layer on top of mine and spread some sand on the top of it.
