Completed Project Stic-o's 2nd gen. radius arm/coil SAS

[Styx]

The pump end is the same fitting but you need to bend the hose alot if I remember correctly. The rack end of the SOHC (99) ex is very different. I used the 99 hose and had a 91 ex hose grafted to it for the box end...
Cost all of $25 at a good parts store up here...
Works awsome no noise no leaks no worries...
Cheers Randy...

i know its really off topic but how did you get your grill like that? I have a 00 xlt and the center section of the grill has all those white cross pieces all over the place. Did you have to order a totally new piece or did you remove them somehow? or did it come like that when you got it?

there is a write up I did on it somewhere on here for it. Try searching for it

Well got some stuff done this weekend. Got both axles prepped and ready for gears However we had a slight problem, with the carrier and lost it in the process(see below). This means we have to wait for the carrier out of my truck, when it comes out next weekend. It dosn't really change much though. It will take us all of next weekend to remove the body lift, and rip out all of the front and rear end.

and now for some picures

it was christmas in my dad's garage this weekend, look at all the stuff the man in the brown truck left me

Try'n to get a idea of how stuff will line up. looks like the end will be about even with the T-case

Carrier issues

the bolt that holds the pin in broke (like your suprised). we were able to get a welding rod to stick to the broken off peice inside, but by then we managed to get a chunk of weld in the threads and could not turn it out enough. We then went to the BFH method even after blowing the bolt out through the side of the carrier, we still had a really tuff time getting the pin out of the carrier. As you can see we never did get it all the way out.

Anyone want a paper weight?

Wheels we mounted last weekend.

One thing I really love about these wheels is that the stem is protected.

dude, where did you get those wheels and tires? they look sick!
