My Build... Updated
I was really excited to say that I got some more mods on over the past few months and felt like posting them. Here's the list of mods since early March
Teraflex 1" Spacers
Teraflex 9550 Shock
Teraflex Quickdisconnects
Teraflex HD Front Adjustable Trackbar
Currie Currectlync Steering System
Dynatrac Prosteer Ball Joints
Crown Extended Brake Lines
Tom Woods 1310 Front Driveshaft
Daystar Dash panel
Daystar Switch Panel (now I need lights)
All in all its cost me around $3000 for everything. The last three items were purchase off of craigslist and majority of the work I completed on my own. Another forum member installed the driveshaft for me
.
Interestingly enough all of the mods have not changed the appearance all that much. so here's a picture I ahve and I'll try to get some new ones up in the coming weeks. If anyone wants specific photos of any of the upgrades just let me know and I'll post them.
Cheers

Yes it is.. although the wife doesn't think so... bye bye tax return...ha
Thank You!!
Busy is an understatement. The first round of mods took me a full weekend and almost ended poorly. Dang drag link got stuck on the pitman arm and took almost 4 hrs to get lose. Of course if I was at my house I would have had access to my blow torch. Anyway, next time I do this I'll be looking for a second set of hands, it makes it much easier.
All in all I probably put in 40 hrs of wrench time to get everything done. Keep in mind I had zero automotive experience before I installed the lift about 2 years ago. Since then I've attempted to tackle all of the items on my own. Its had its ups and downs, but is very satisfying when you can look back and know you did the work.
I'm thinking my next mod may be painting the stock wheels.. we'll see..
