Just a few more things to do.

1 get rear shocks
2 get drivelines
3 wire up elockers

That's it!

Steering is done, all four tires are now on the ground. See pictures here:

It already doesn't.

Welp,

We put on a front swaybar, basically just took the old one (the sammy one that we had modified to mount to the Ubolt plates) and put it back on the front. It was the easiest. The FJ80 swaybar was just a little TOO big- wouldn't have fit in very easy.

We bled the brakes and rolled it around in the garage, it stops QUICK - (eeerch) but I can't wait to test it out on the street.

We built the rear spare tire bracket, and put in the new replacement chromoly coupler into our Kicker 3 that OTT sent us with our steering arm. This way, the Kicker 3 will be pretty much bullet proof.

Now, all we have to do is get some rear shocks, get some drivelines, and wire up the elockers. It's almost done.

:)

Well, the first several Kicker 3's that OTT made came with couplers that ended up being softer than the shafts in either transfer case. The coupler connects the two transfer cases together:
 

When the coupler would spin on the shafts, with any vibration, because it was softer, the splines inside would wear out.

The Kicker 3's are now coming with chromoly couplers, so that does not happen any more. And I was sent a chromoly replacement as a "warranty replacement" by OTT with my knuckle. They are a good company, just a little slow at times. I am sure it's because they are small.
