Picked up one of those "eagle hawk" things just for giggles and god it felt like plastic.... cheap porous terrrible casting.

Kobalt wrench has a pretty nice feel though. A little too smooth, but nice and hefty.... not quite like my 30 year old crafstman i got from my gramps, but it will get the job done


Cool fact.. grampa showed me his brass tool kit. He worked maintenance at a an armory and he has a whole set of tools made of brass tools so he wouldnt make a spark and blow the whole place up

4Lo with these 4.10s is ridiculous.

I couldnt imagine with something that is actually deep... like WNs setup or a serious off roading box.
You have transfer case nuts??? Where are you talking about?

Yeah, with 33s/35s the 4lo and 4.10s gave me giggle on how low. A nice appreciation.

yep, done it a couple times... that top bolt absolutely sucks!

i usually remove my trans mount, and set the trans right down onto the crossmember. makes things MUCH easier!

The 96 was put through a full VI this summer, lots of things to get it ready, from DRL's to Cab mounts, windshield. Some other parts were added over the summer as well. All work was done by me shy of the windshield.

A few photos for the photo ****** out there.
