87 Crew Cab w/ 6 doors

another thing about this set up, is that you must clock it right.
if not the drag link will bind on the tie rod.
and with the TRE's it can move.
it would be nice to get different TRE's that are not offset.
it would move the entire tie rod back an inch which would help.

i have not looked into getting different TRE's but i suspect if i have another issue, i will be going with regular rod ends.
and delete the regular ends altogether

so close, yet so far away.

i got both battery trays done, painted, and installed.
both batterys hooked up and the electrical cleaned up.
went to go fire it off, and im dropping power to the IP while cranking.
the glow plug module wire does not.
got a splitting headache and im done for today.
batteries too dead to dry again today, ill let it charge overnight and get out there tomorrow.
worked on the new dent for a bit but didnt get far.

Did you put a shield in front of the frame mounted battery? Wouldn't want a rock making an 'inspection window' in your battery! [emoji12]
