Put new glow plug relay and controller on. Put steering stabilizer on. Straight wired my injector pump to a toggle switch in the cab. Found out the fuel shut off valve in the injector pump is bad. So time for a new injector pump. Truck is done for the next week or so til I can afford the $450 for the injector pump plus install

Sleazy greazy Ziploc trick, put your bearing grease in a big ziploc bag, drop in the bearing, work the grease back and forth thru the bearing by squeezing the bag, use the bag to slide the bearing on the spindle , and seal up the bag for storage, makes less greasy hands, wastes little to no grease.

Bolted the carrier on, with exhaust clamps. U-bolts on bottom, which are pretty damn crappy, and the brackets on top with nuts and bolts.

It's up to my little brother it's his truck lol I'm just doing all the work to it. Since he don't know squat about it. But I'm painting it to his specs lol I'm planing on bed lining my 92 instead of painting it.
