Thanks guys!

Sorry to hear about your loss as well random

El no I'll be hiding the horns somewhere just not sure where yet. I don't think I could live with myself if I mounted them on the roof lol!

The kit that I got a couple of years ago tucks behind the grill perfectly

Glad to hear it. I would hate to see a nice rig have a nasty wart like that on the roof. Tucked behind the grill somewhere it should be nice and stealth.

Yeah I'm going to have to wait for now I guess and see what kind of space I have after the SAS and moving my winch up higher behind the bumper instead of below it like it is now.

Ordered the rear calipers and rotors for the 60 I'll pick them up in the am. Got a bunch of parts back including the machined knuckle and high steer arm. Took some time and painted a few parts and started getting things put back together the last 2 days.



All new ball joints for the front as well.

I am picking up all new lug studs on my way home that I ordered yesterday and will get the new rotors pressed onto the hubs tomorrow and then I should be able to put the axles back together (minus I still have a few brackets to cut off and paint the axles) I also ordered all of my ubolts and spring plates along with the spring perches for the rear today. All in all I'm happy with the progress so far.

Damn I'm jealous... it's been way too cold here to do much of anything! I have springs and my radio I want to put in so bad, but I'm not sitting on the cold driveway to do springs! lol

It's been mid 50s the last two days which is nice for getting crap done. On a side note I just tallied what I have into this swap and I'm already at $2557!!!! I still have another $1500-2000 to go. I could have done it cheaper but I may as well do it right the first time right!

You will have room under the hood for the horn where the ABS pump was(assume you're pulling it)
