got the t&t long arms almost done. just need to install the second arm & set the caster, then install the hood vents.
 
long arms are done & tested on a big rock across the street from my house. wheee! everything clears!
now on to the hood vents...
 
Well, since I'm new here, figured I would contribute my plans for the week:

- Install new Radiator Fan
- Install Front Driveshaft
- Verify Clearance on new wheels
- Remove front sway bar
- Re-Torque All Bolts on Driveline
- Hunt down annoying squeak and rattle
- Re-install Glove Box and Center Console
- Mount Hi-Lift Jack and Fire Extinguisher
- Mount Spare tire to spare wheel

Those are the main ones, but I had a question: Does anyone know what the torque spec is for the nut behind the wheel? Mines loose and I can't find mention of it in any of my manuals....
 
Shafts are in, WOOT!
now I just have to hope that my exhaust downpipe clears all the rocks I climb and I'll be good.

Does anyone know what the torque spec is for the nut behind the wheel?

Which nut? The axle nut? 175ft/lbs
the unit bearing bolts? like 60ft/lbs

but that doesn't sound like what would be loose...
