You mean you couldn't have bought a whole other VX for the money you've already spent?

Umm, between the 120K PMS and the gadgets, locker, lift, wheels tires and so on, I probably have close to $10K plus the cost of the truck invested, not including the tranny swap. I could have bought 2 more VXs for that...but they would be just plain old boring VXs

Just finished the ball joint swap, took about 1.8 hours, 30 minutes of which was trying to get the factory bump stops off and trying to find one of the castle nuts. The nut had fallen into the jack. I am not sure what the point of the low profile stops is, they are less than 1/8" difference from the factory. They are a bit bigger as far as contact area though. Oh well, its done now. Why is it every time I do something mechanical on the truck, she demands some type of blood sacrifice? If I was a mechanic for a living, I would have to have the Red Cross on site all the time to supply me fresh blood.
Hopefully tomorrow I can make some progress on the paint. Stand by.
