Busy day/week so far. Put new sun visors on, wasn't happy with the price but glad I splurged. Replaced the drivers armrest, for obvious reasons. Installed a 8" powered sub between the spare and rear seats (still running the factory deck) and also got the iPod interface and sat radio interface setup and mounted to a custom ABS plate in the console front cup holder. New light housings and reflectors out front to rid myself of the cataracts, still need to aim them, maybe tonight when it gets dark.

Sitting around right now waiting on the fedex man to bring me lug nuts so I can install my 20" CK156 repos. Will post pics later if it isn't too dark.

Not today but within the last week. Injector spider, plug wires, plugs, intake manifold gasket, head gasket, cap, rotor and new coolant. It's runs and sounds amazing now. I just ordered new sway bar links, compressor, orifice tube and drier. After that it's rear brakes, stereo wiring and 4 channel amp. Once that is all done, it's time for the cosmetics. I need heads, signals and tails and finally some black wheels. I may just plastidip the wheels I have now in the meantime.

Hooked up my CodeAlarm on my hoe (3 years of sitting in a box lol) Love the auto crank and door locks. Next is to finish up my sound system and redo my headline and sun visors.

Still working on sway bar links. What a pain in the butt. I just ordered rotors and pads, AC hose and stereo harnesses. All that should get here next week and then I have to arrange a wrench date and get it all done in a weekend. Then I'll drop it off the following Monday for vacuum and freon and it's back baby!

Sway bar links in. New cross drilled and slotted rotors with ceramic pads in. Now on to the AC. I have the compressor removed but am having a hard time taking the hose off the condenser. I'm afraid if I keep going I'm going to round off the nut on the condenser and I'll have to replace it too.

unknown at this time.
ceramic pads on a hoe. this i gotta see and hear about. with slotted as well. are you sure the truck will even try to slowdown or will the ceramic pads in fact make it speed up even more?

that line on the condenser often will jam up and most have just ended up twisting it up so get flare or if possible 6 point boxes on it with extra hands and maybe shock loosen it. it may work.

Installed a CAI. Took a few hours but worth it. Also finally got my rear sway bar links and bushings. I can't believe dealer is the only place to get rear sway bar bushings at $20 a piece!

Looks great, didn't want to upgrade to poly bushings for the swaybar?

I didn't, but the only ones I ever found were the OE ones. I probably would of, But I just couldn't find them.
I see, cause the rear swaybar kit was $30 has zerk fittings to grease them too, rides alot better

The old pads on my ifs gave out a month before the swap began, and I threw a set of el cheapo ceramic pads on there and boy howdy, they sucked at first! I had drilled and slotted rotors and the severe duty pads on there before were great but the ceramics barely did anything until I broke them in, then they were just ok.

I would recommend ditching the ceramic pads for the expensive (but very worth it) severe duty pads. You honestly won't stop with ceramics on those rotors, and even after you break them in they'll be no better than stock. Severe duty all the way, you'll be able to lock the fronts at any speed with those on cross drilled and slotted rotors.
