I drove it!!!! :mrgreen:

Went for a hot lap around the house tonight.

I made a list this morning of all the things that needed to be done in order to drive the truck, and got myself motivated.

I installed the entire front brake system, replaced the fuel pump hanger, replaced the fuel pump hanger again, bled the brakes, reinstalled the seats, charged the battery and bled the brakes some more.

That may not sound all that impressive, but those of you who know how I wrench know how I like to get distracted and take naps. I didn't take ANY naps today(god bless redbull).

Tomorrow I'm gonna drive it some more and figure out why I can left a lot more than I can turn right. I don't think it's the draglink length, and I'm almost 100% sure I put the pitman arm correctly.

I'll post pics tomorrow of it out and about

Now all I have to do is:

Rebuild PS Box
Route exhaust and install muffler
Install hydro assist
Shocks
Finish cage
Sliders
Finish flat bed
Front bumper

I should be able to get the important stuff done before school. Then it's time for the washout.
