I would have used it but no one here sells it, so I went with what was locally available.

If I had a short piece of hose that would have worked too, but at 10pm on a Friday evening I had to make due with what I had.

I broke my hood release cable the morning I was taking it in for a safety. It is still broken and just a piece of wire hanging out the grill

Added a mod that gave me 115 HP, 390 ft/lbs of torque, traction equivalent to a D11R dozer, and made me irresistible to the opposite sex:



Then I took a cruise and it insisted on a brief sojourn onto the old rail bed:

Little TLC for the '99. Greased up the front end joints and the rear shackle bushings, than a drain and refill on the AW4.

Finished RE6025 3.5" Super-ride kit install on my '98. Used Bilsteins again and had to install an adjustable trackbar.

Since this is a pavement queen, I chose the Teraflex atb.

Drove it briefly to check it out. Rides very well. Will have a better formed opinion after the wheel hub bearings, ball joints and front wheel u- joints are installed this coming week and I get the alignment done.

I will say this: the rear netted about 5.5 inches. I currently have 480 pounds of concrete mix sitting in the rear and it's still off by about 1" from sitting level. May change shackles since they're not OEM length. Have some research to do first.

We took her to the beach (Sore Thumb) for the first time. I hate to admit it but I was not happy with the way she performed. It wasn't even close to over-loaded and still bottomed out front and rear a few times. My stock rear leafs with 2" BDS AAL's are getting swapped out immediately for OME 3" leafs. The pic shows her low in the rear but on pavement she sits level.
