WOOHOOOOO!.....test drive is complete and.....MY BITCH IS BACK ON THE ROAD!!!!!!.......Trans couldnt be better and front end feels 500% better but,....still needs a gearbox......lol.....yes,you can replace everything from the pitman arm to the balljoints along with everything in between and add a stabilizer but,...it still wont fix a wore out gearbox!!!.....figured it was bad but everything else was so damn worn out I really couldnt be sure so .....still,a whole lot better than before and very tolorable....hell,I may even be able to let someone else drive it now without thinking im gonna have to recover it from a ditch(im used to driving wore out chit,I could drive it as it was)......once I recover from the last few weeks spending on this pig a new box will be soon to come......but,it really is night and day differance from what it was before.....just wants to wander a bit.....but,its back up and running...... add some pics to the linked album tonight if anyone wants to check them out
