Nice! They are ba-luuuue!

Your steering will change if you do a sas. I'd get the upgraded steering and then have fun and wheel it. It's alot of money to sas. It's alot of truck time off the road to sas.

Hi, What size of tires are you planning to run? That will help you determine your gear ratio for your diffs.

Arrgh this year I have found myself in the office. One always gets their b-day off, but this week has been too busy. I'll be taking another day instead.

The gas issue is a bummer. Like Pezzy said, for some of us and our way of life, our Pathys or suvs are a direct part of that lifestyle, so the gas issue may tend to take a less critical eye.

Thanks everyone You're right Eli, beers are happening soon...I think...if I can leave work...

Progress being Made Eli. For some reason I thought you guys were starting next weekend. I'll see if I can swing by this weekend. Good choice on the Sleemans.

Yeah! Fantastic. Looks great Pezzy. Now the test run!

Thank you all!! 87pathy, I have some front bumper pics that show the mounts here...somewhere.

Don't forget to swap the Master cylinder from the donor Pathy out to as Cuong Nguyen posted.

Have you picked up a multimeter yet?

I second that. Grab a hold and twist and watch for any movement.

How many lift blocks do you have? My kit came with the Hardbody blocks and Pathy blocks. Needless to say, I had a whole bunch of left over parts.

Looks great!

Good thing you guys got that done! Nasty stuff.

Edit: Opps, just saw Harbingers post Sorry, I don't have any links, but a Google or Pirate board search should point you in the right direction.

Been waiting for your post of long arming! Looks great.

I hope you are on the road of a better spring/summer than your winter was. I think you should keep the Chevy...sounds like that's the project that will bring the most enjoyment. As far as the Pathys, is it possible to part out the '91's motor? Perhaps get a little more coin parting out both Pathys? Then again, it's the issue of dealing with parting them out as opposed to just getting rid of them in one clean sweep. Best of luck with everything.

MWS, you must have seen Walkers Evans IFS Rock Crawler eh? It was a beauty.

With most of the kits, you can do everything from that access panel as dagwoodzz pointed out. Some of the plug and go "T" kits require you to run a few wires to the passenger side to (I ran them under the plastic moulding to hide them) so you can just plug or 'T' into the existing factory plug. Either way, pretty simple!

One thing about pulling your own D44 is it gives you the experience of tearing it down and then rebuilding it (which is fairly inexpensive). Gives you great practice in case you have to do a repair on the trail.

Wow. It could have been a much different outcome. Glad you escaped fairly intact! Why did he push the button?

Looks really nice. Great work!

Hello-hello! I'd say it's your tires. Then can make more of a difference than one would think. The Mich's probably had a ton of more sipeing and probably a softer rubber compound than the BFG's. Since the BFG's are 1/2 worn, they are probably alot harder now to.
