    We're not in the clear quite yet.

    I got the new tie rods on, bolted the shocks back on, put the new bumpstops on, then went to attach the driveshaft.

    I've had this little naggling voice for a few days ..."remember they used two different sizes of yokes on these axles" and I'd answer back...."nah...both Dutch and SSDutch were originally 4 cylinder Jeeps and only 2 years apart...should be the same."

    Well...the voice was right. Hopefully not a big deal - the axle from Dutch has recently been rebuilt..so everything *should* come apart OK again. The SSDutch axle is the wildcard.

    Other than that it's replacing a brake line, getting the speed bleeders exchanged for some to fit the 11" and getting the brakes flushed and bled...then by eye it looks like a toe-in setting will be needed afterall.

    Good thing I'm self employed...I might give myself the rest of the week off....
