Ordered Henderson super steer springs, check, got new tie rods, check, removed old tie rods, disconnected shock, disconnected sway bar, beat on lower ball joint for what seemed like forever, also used a pickle fork to no avail. Finally got the big sledge and whacked the******out of it, finally let loose. The dust cover was ripped from the pickle fork so now I got new lower ball joints that I have to put it. Then off to harbor freight to get a cheap ball joint press to remove and install..... WHEW long day... Hopefully tomorrow morning I Can get everything back together.... Then start all over agin on the driver side... :-s

Put in a RCA stereo jack cable to 3.5mm connversion cable so I can listen to my iPhone on AUX 1 on the dash radio. - dgcarverExplorerJust bought 4 Trojan T-105's to replace the two factory NAPA 12 volts. Going to relocate the Chassis battery unter the hood and fit the 4 batteries where the 3 used to be under the entry step. I may have to modify it a little, but I pretty sure it will work. I'll post pictures when I'm done.
