Well today i jacked up the front of the waggy and started ripping the front axle out. Ran into a roadblock when the stubborn rusted bolts wouldnt move. Guess im gonna have to get the sawzall out tomorrow and hack some shackle brackets up and take it to work so I can burn the bushings out with the torch! Heres a couple pics of my Redneck jack stands! Lol tires and 2x4s! Its sturday and holds the wheels off the ground so thats all that matters.

Got the axle out today. It needs a PS wheel seal but other than that everything seems good and tight! It has skyjacker 4" lift springs. Does anybody have any experience with them?

Ha i wish. Money has been tight and ive still got a few things ive gotta buy. Ive been working on arting the rest of the waggy out so I can make a little bit of my money back. Still gotta get spring perches for both axles and the steel to build my front crossmember/hanger. This is my first time with a build of any type so im trying not to rush. Even though i am getting excited! Lol

Not much for updates. I finally replaced my core support and realized i need new fenders to make everything line up right.. Cant really catch a break as far as money goes to move on with the build. The gfs car has been one thing after another. I ripped my carpet out today and did a quick spray on bedliner job on the floor. We will see how that holds up.
