Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Installed factory front sway bar (78 burb) on drop frame brackets.

With the frame being boxed and a REZ kit, I had to drill and elongate some access holes for the wrench on each of the back two frame bracket mounting bolts, but it worked out okay.

I think I'll get fresh bushings since these had quite a few cracks show up after everything was all tightened up.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Cleaned, primered, and painted the front sway bar and mounting brackets.

Worked on repairs to my hacked up low floor tunnel cover while the parts were drying...

I hope to finish it up tomorrow.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Installed clutch master cyl and linkage, bent a line and bled. Works like a million bucks. Started on power booster, thanks to Captain Fab for the quality parts to work with.
