Thumbs up So lot's to do

OK so in the next 2 weeks I'll be spending about $1500 or so. Here is the list.

$500 for Hood, Fenders, Grill, Upper Bumper and Spindles. great deal, guy needs stuff gone so I'll take it. LOL

$164 for Plugs, wires, Cap, Rotor and Coil. Plus oil change.

$40 for Trans Speed Input and Output Sensors.

$612 For Front Pads, Rear Shoes, Rotors, CV Half Shafts, Front and Rear Stabilizer Bushings, Lower Bumper Cover, Turn Signal Assembly, AC Compressor, Belt Tensioner, Trailer Hitch and Hitch Wiring Harness

$40 for Drops Shackle Bolts for TS lift

$140 for Steering Column

$300 for 2 tires for the front.

And a few other things i can't remember right now. So soon you all will see a new improved Dirtrango. I can't wait to get this done.

P.S. already did the shocks their basic but will be swapped out in a few months.

Before and After pics please! And when I walk into my 2nd job every night I feel the same way (considering I work at an autoparts store and get LOTS of free parts!)

Ok update.

new plugs, wires, cap, rotor and coil are installed. I also did a temporary coil relocation and have to do a little mod to make it permanent.


here is the Coil relocation's temp position.


Should be putting in the Cv axles, upper and lower ball joints, inner and outer tie rods, control arm bushings, rack and pinions bushings, front and rear sway bar bushings, new disc's and pads for the front all next weekend. I will take before and after pictures while doin the tear down and reinstall. I didn't get the new front end yet so that will be another topic another day.

here are some pics of all the new stuff.




Also picked up a new tool set for good measure.



Well more updating next week. just hope it all goes good and no .
