upper arms are easy. litterally 3 nuts. Just make sure you stick the spacers back in the right spots for the alignment.

Well lets hope everything goes smoothly. Does everyone usually pay for a single alignment or the "life of the tire alignment?"

Well, i get to take the jimmy to the exhaust shop tomorrow, I wish I had a welder, cause what would have been 40 dollars, is going to quickly turn into 180+ because they will have to put a cat on, as the previous owner took it off


Side note, tested out the PWM's with the tail lights, adjusted the running/parking lights to a good brightness, wont really know until they are installed, also, sealed up the light. Onto the next one.

The hub assembly is from a company called "PRO" on Rock Auto. They were selling hub assemblies for 4wd's for the right price. It looks to me like good quality when it finally arrived at my place too. And I decided to buy new upper control arms with ball joints and bushings already attached because I don't have the proper tools to change out just the bushings.

Chestypuller, don't feel bad about being banned. I've been banned from dozens of sites multiple times each. Walk away from the keyboard for a while. The Blogosphere Keyboardist Clientèle can use your talent in other political forums in the future.

I did a seafoam cleaning yesterday (vacuum, oil, gas) and the Jimmy is working a lot better, much more power! I also tightened my throttle control cable.
