A-arms are installed. I ended up having too pull out my 1.5" lowering springs and installing my stock spring to get the ride height. I can't believe how much better it rides. Today I'm going to install the sway bar.

Had a few friends over yesterday to BBQ and help me with assembling my bed. I still need to bolt in the fender wells and install my fuel cap. |

Tuesday night after a late night finishing up the wood floor. All my friends had just left. I was pulling the truck in the garage and was using 4"X4" in front of the tires to keep the truck in the driveway. so I kicked the block out forgetting it wasn't in gear and my E- brake wasn't on ( don't have one). Truck started to roll down so I shoved the block Back pinching my right index finger. Here's a picture before the 20 stitches. Luckily I didn't break my finger or damaged the truck. I told my wife I rather have lost my finger than my truck hitting the brick wall across the street lol. Sorry if the picture grosses anyone out. Let me know and I can delete it. |

So this past weekend, the wife and I took our first road trip to her class reunion in CA in the truck, (Red Fred) which my kids named lol. We drove around 550 miles, and averaged around 75MPH/18.8 MPG. It was so nice to have the bed finished, to carry all of my wife's crap lol.. Here are a couple of pics.
