Yes, with 3.50 gears it turns a really low RPM if it goes into OD. Thinking 4.11 should be good.

Knuckles are on with new ball joints. Planning to work on finishing it up in the next few days.

Last weekend Justin was gracious enough to do some welding on the new drag link and tie rod. This week I found some time to finish reassembling the front end. Combined with the new radius arm bushings, the ride difference is quite dramatic. It has very nice, smooth return to center when driving even without the stabilizer shock. I’m going to add a riser bracket for the trac bar to make it parallel with the drag link.

Did you hook the Halo up to the turn signals too? I really thought about those during the black Friday time because of that "feature".

Adam was gracious enough to sacrifice a good portion of his Labor Day helping install a brake booster. After spending an hour driving around looking for a line adapter, we figured out it wasn’t needed. Oops. Anyway, it is wonderful to be able to stop, even if it isn’t a hydro boost setup like all the cool kids. I really like how it drives.
Thanks Adam!
