Apparently I'm a dummy and rushed through building the front driveshaft. The yokes were clocked 90 out of phase. Haven't used 4x4 for anything more then crawling so I didn't notice until today. So fixed that after work! Sooo much better.

I installed a Pro Comp steering stabilizer I picked up for $30 on CL. I'm only running 285/70-17's, but for that kind of deal, I thought it would be worth experimenting.




I also installed new sway bar bushings (I could see light between the bar and bushing in the old ones), and put on a new serpentine belt.

Replaced my serpentine belt. And added another coat of dye to my carpets. Up next will be to paint all of my door panels/ plastic pieces.

Fabbed up a new CB antenna mount that swivels down so I can get in my garage.




Just have to get longer coax cable so I can get it wired up.

Holy..... I just got back from a drive, and I had no idea how much the steering wheel was moving around until it wasn't. Best $30 I've spent in a long time.
