wow...looking good.
i think you did in a very short time what it takes most of us a year or so to build up to.
also, nice front bumper. on the prerunner...since someone is calling dibs...where did you get it?
also, is your light bar from a jeep liberty? looks similar
thanks

The light bar I got on eBay there's a couple different t types on there. I'll be selling this one when I paint it.

Did some test fitting of the Rugged Trail tubular arms. If I us them gonna need to move the upper bump stop and add the lower sway bar mounts which I'm going to make anyways. I want to leave the bar mounted in the stock location. I'll make some new end links. Here's a couple pics.

I need to find new dust sheilds for the front. The old ones are rusted pretty bad. Anybody know where to get new ones. I can't seem to find ones for the 97. Lots of them around for the rear. LMC doesn't have them for the front. Was trying to avoid spending allot at the dealer.
Cost me $960 last night for the ball joints, front hubs and new CV shafts.
And I still need to get the rotors, brake pads, calipers, brake lines and tie rod ends.
Plus I might convert it to coilovers and get rid of the t-bars.

I don't want to be changing them once a year.

Got some more progress done. Been waiting three weeks for a friend of mine to help put the front diff back in. Still didn't show so I did it myself like always. Can never count on anyone when you need them.
I installed the Rough Country Diff Drop. Gives you alittle less then an 1". The sale rep at Rough Country said it was an 1.5" drop but it's not.
