okay now to start rebuilding .........
i started with the front axle , fixing the xvd from the accident with the pin last year . i installed gunnar's pins in the xvd's , and i will install the gunnar's pins for the drive hexes as well . here is a pic of the progress so far .
not much to see yet , i did get chris' and my batteries back today from having deans plugs installed . i will be doing more tomorrow , unfortunately i was planning on doing more but my back/chest pain came back today so i am taking pain meds plus muscle relaxer and a nerve pill ( bad part is i still am in pain ) hopefully i can sleep tonight .

as far as the bends in the draglink i haven't really looked at mine compared to any of the other ones ( i will have to look )
well i went to a different hospital this time because i was in significant pain again , long story short they don't think it is a pulled muscle or a pinched nerve. i go tomorrow for a stress echo test , they are worried that it might be an issue with my heart .

Hopefully all is good there and they're just being cautious with testing for things.

Im gonna talk to my chiro and see if he knows anyone in the KC area and Ill let you know...
That "tie rod" was a special bend for Sam's rig that I decided to do...b!tch bend.
Ive done a couple like this but they are a pain to make...and I make all the tie rods from scratch from 6061-T6 aluminum rod..its one of the reasons the BTL kits take a couple days to do...I have to turn down the OD of the rod to fit the collars for every one...then drill and tap everything.

thank you everybody for the kind words , i am still up in the air after this test . the dr said he couldn't see a certain area well enough in the echo so now i have to go through two more days of testing this time a nuclear stress test , the reason it takes two days is i am to big ( over 240 lbs) i guess they can only pump so much radioactive isotope into me at one time . i get to go thurs. and then next tues. both days for about 2 1/2 hrs each time . so the fun's not over yet , this really does suck
