Re: Project Okanagan Sunset

Had to pull the axles to machine the hubs down to fit my wheels. Found out my gear ratio is 3.73, not 4.11 as I had thought.

One axle was a little pitted, so I bought repair bearings for both sides. I'll have those installed when I get the posi installed next winter.

Rear suspension was completely disassembled, cleaned and painted, then reassembled with the new parts. 4" drop springs, adjustable panhard bar, rear sway bar and new shocks.

It was hot as hell today, and I must have lost 10 lbs working out there all day. Time for a cold one!
