I agree. Flares will be done once funds allow. Have to make sure it'll pass inspection first.

Tinted the front windows to allow more privacy, heat rejection, and uv rejection. Hope this Madico film holds up. I can put pictures up later if wanted. I need to get a piece for my oil filter skid plate so the door actually stays closed.

Shipped out my shackle and receiver bar to be milled and drilled to fit together! It was cheaper than trying to find and then paying for a drill bit large enough that I will never use again. The two pieces together weight 14.6lbs lol! I also picked up a billet grill from s10forum that I have plans for. No it won't be staying billet that would just look silly on my truck lol.

Re-ordered a bunch of parts that O'Reilly's messed up on. Went through Rock Auto instead. Pitman Arm, Idler Arm and wheel hubs. Have to go in and get the windshield repaired soon.

I took the '98 Jimmy in for an alignment today. Graham Automotive did a beautiful job. They adjusted the ride height and the left upper control arm and got it perfectly aligned. Before I rebuilt the suspension the right front tire was scrubbing on tight turns. Now the steering and suspension are smooth and solid.

It's a great feeling.

Replaced the passenger side outside door handle with NOS OEM I got on ebay. I find the OEM chrome plating is superior to the aftermarket parts. The reason I had to replace the handle was the hinge pin on the underside of the door handle broke and therefore would not open the door.
