HA! Not me, I struggled the whole way.

Thanks. Long way to go, but it's getting there. Today I installed the axles / seals / Warn locking hubs / bled brakes / tie rods / steering arm. I still need to install the shocks and sway bar. Either way, she's sitting on her own tires. Talk about a lot of work. UJOR doesn't charge enough...

After a lot of cursing, yelling, spitting, it's finally in! Leaf springs on: Holy crap: Still LOTS to do, but over the hill.

I'm afraid of that. Milwaukee makes a M12 right angle saw I'm gonna try. I'm almost there!

I thought that the radius arm brackets unbolted from the inside. I was wrong. I cut one head off a bolt and still needed to get it out. My solution, weld another bolt to it. The carnage: Not sure what's going on, haven't used my plasma since I've moved here. But I don't think we have...

I thought the nuts on the inside came off. I guess thy're permanently attached. I'm an idiot. Should have read instructions. Thanks. Carry on. Fixed: Axle going in tomorrow morning:

Any suggestions on getting off the radius arm bracket bolts, before I get the plasma to it?

I cant for the life of me get the radius arm bolts off. They don't seem rusted or anything. And on the passenger side, the exhaust is in the way, so I'll have to pull that off. I'm going to try a propane torch. Worst case they will get the plasma cutter treatment. I also got the ball joints...

Kinda started on it. I won't officially start until Monday. I need a ball joint puller. My pickle fork gave up the ghost: Bumper, and sway bar off.

Tires are mounted:

I'm planning on 550hp on my van and plan on adding a 6.0 intercooler, and doing the lower alternator mount like Chris has done. Fuel bowl delete, and a custom t4 mount turbo with stainless intercooler piping. It can be done, from what everyone else has said, not an easy job.

I like the color!

Whoa.

When installing Warn hubs, do I need to put all that stuff back on the axle first? Like the large hex washer / fiber washer / circlip? Or just install them without all that stuff? I'm asking on here in case anyone else was asking too. You know, Google indexing.

No kidding, we miss Ed.

When are you leaving for SEMA?

It was a "DIY" job for sure. But it works.

I'm not familiar with the UJOR kit, but here how it's done on my buddies van.

Parts ordered: Fan clutch. 4WD output shaft. 4WD transmission tail shaft steel housing with sensor hole. Transmission rebuild kit. I'll be rebuilding the transmission myself. I have a low mileage NV273 (electronic shift), but will probably go with a UJOR transfer case. My main priority after...
