Update for Friday:
So far I've got my Timken hubs, RC stainless extended brake lines, and my new rotors and pads. Spicer ball joints should be here tomorrow via UPS, and I need to source some Spicer 5-260X u-joints locally cause the Amazon seller still hasn't shipped them even though it said 3-day arrival.
JCR steering rods are powdercoated, ends are painted, and I'm waiting for a chance to meet up with Green2000 to get them. That will be installed soon.
Oil leak has gotten a lot worse, though, and I've verified that it's the OFA. Gonna do some reading tonight at work on that.
Oh, and for what it's worth, I got my trailer harness in the mail a couple days ago. It's plug-and-play, but I haven't installed it yet because I work 12hr shifts lol. Probably tomorrow.

Many thanks to my89xj and Green2000!
Replaced hubs, ball joints, ujoints, rotors, and pads, and the three O-rings on the oil filter adapter.
Tires stand straight up now, brakes are working better, and it isn't dripping fluid. Massive improvement after one night and a full day of work.
Then we enjoyed a bonfire last night where I got incredibly intoxicated. Now I'm driving out to Baltimore to hang out with kuzican and whoever else shows up.
Still need to install the steering before I mount the new tires, but I did get it back from Green yesterday with fresh powdercoat.
