Rotors and pads are due here tomorow so that will be the start of the weekend projects, as it needs front brakes and then the fun cam begin
 






I see manual transmission and manual tcase, is there also factory manual hubs for the hat trick?
 






Kenwood before brakes
So far I think you have your priorities perfectly aligned which makes me want to watch this build even more!

Back on her wheels
Also put in a dynomax muffler, DIY hodgepodge style as they aparently no longer make the cat back, but I failed to document that... like at all...

Needs an alignment but we all knew that at this point, but ill let the springs settle a bit before I bother

I also have a hitch half in... let's just say Curt hitches do not fit as one would like...
