A visit to Mod heaven

[Ascinder]

So, the VX has been down for several weeks while I tore out the front end to get at the differential drop brackets to lift it. Long story short, a lot got done to the VX, like:

2" extended diff drop brackets
1.5" drop brackets for forward frame cross-member(under forward driveshaft)
New inner bearings and seals
Mecatech CV boots
Brand new upper and lower ball joints
Ball joint flip
Independent4x brake lines
Brake caliper speed bleeders
Energy suspension polyurethane low profile bump stops
Energy suspension polyurethane tie rod dust boots
Custom made 1 1/4" Powder coated 4340 Hex tie rods w/grease-able rod ends
Energy suspension grease-able sway-bar bushings
Re-indexed front suspension to 4" of lift
Installed Nitrided steel spring jacks in the rear for 4" of lift
Energy suspension polyurethane coil spring isolators
4 Mega 835 20" rims
4 Nitto 285 55 R20 Nitto Dune Grapplers
Aisin Locking front hubs
Brakes flushed and filled with ATE Super blue brake fluid
Front and rear differentials changes to Mobil 1 full synthetic
Oil changed to Mobil 1 synthetic
All bearings/bushings lubed with Red Line CV-2 synthetic grease
All brake parts and ball joints painted with Hi-temp red ceramic paint




Here's some pics, Sorry about the bad lighting, but it's overcast outside. The guys at the alignment shop said their machine can't hook up to that rim size with the Nittos because the bead is too tight. So tomorrow, I get to take these of, put the old ones back, have it aligned, then put these back on. So far though the ride is nice and smooth. I love being up high, and man, I thought people looked before, but now I think I might cause an accident or two.
