Wow, it seems like I have been working on this for years!! Maybe I have been thinking about it for years?!?! Either way, this project took some serious blood sweat and... Men don’t cry. It’s done!! It’s finally done!!

I am super excited to finish up the last couple things after work tonight and couldn’t help but share a little video.
This wasn’t just some bolt together project. There was a lot of trial and error and fabrication to make things work.... and boy does this thing work. This front axle is a monster and the ride is better than I imagined. Now it’s time to hook up the camper and take this bad boy on some camping trips!!! It drives and handles like a totally different truck...

Stick around and check out the full write up on the project.... it took quite a few hours...

Nice work mate! You must feel a sense of satisfaction at having it all squared away. Now...Camping.

I
You have no idea. LOL. Now lets just hope it doesn’t fall off while driving down the highway. 😜😜

The good thing about it falling out on the highway is you'll come to the realisation that you did something wrong on the installation.

Work it out and abracadabra, do the job again and you're good to go!

Ok, maybe not.

It'll be fine and you should be pleased with your effort.

It's time for that camping trip!

Hell Ya!!! I took it in for an alignment and they said they couldn’t do it because I have a couple bad tie rod ends.... So those are gonna have to wait.... I need to get the F outta here!!! Lol
