Got the spindle off last night. About to head outside and get the arms ripped out before work.

So, plan is to deal with the bushings and ball joints tomorrow before work, and whatever I don't get done will be finished Friday after work, along with getting them reinstalled.

That should allow me Saturday to get the diff bushings changed, and hopefully get the diff in place. Then throw the steering linkage on her and have that mess all done.

After that, my next goal will be to drop the fuel tank, clean it out, change the pump, and get it reinstalled. That will probably be the Thursday after tomorrow.

Other than that, I'll just throw as many little parts at her as I can to get closer to done. My days off just got changed, and to a sooner date than originally agreed upon....

Got the lower arm bushed, greased, and stuffed in it's hole. As well as the shock installed. Getting just a bit closer now. Only gotta press in the ball joint, rebuild the upper arm, and get the new hub and brake rotor swapped over to the spindle. Then I get to go fix my f-up on the other side upper arm where one of the stupid bushing end caps fell off as I was trying to install it and I didn't notice. Yay. Two steps forward, one step back....

And FedEx seems to have misplaced my shipment from RockAuto. Last night it showed arrived in Dallas. Ok. That works. I wake up this morning, and it's showing to be in Pflugerville. Just north of Austin. Like 3 hours away. THAT'S NOT WORKING FOR ME. and as of just a few minutes ago, it  still shows to be in Pflugerville....

I'm a might bit irritated currently.

The downside of ordering online and having it shipped.... hopefully it shows up in the morning.

This will be the first time I've ever had an issue with FedEx losing one of my shipments. Had USPS do that while back, and it was frustrating. Bur it eventually showed up like 5 days later. I can't really afford for this to take an additional few days.
