Been driving her everyday. Picked up a Dana 44 with 4:10 gears today. Gotta find a 14 bolt with matching gears then I can swap out my axles with 3:08 gears. Should be an improvement!

Got it 3 months ago and have been very busy

5/6 drop ( 3" spindles, 2" springs. 4" shackles, 4" hangers, removed leafs)
22.5 wheels and tires
alignment
pinion angle is dialed in
short headers, dual magna flows
full stereo system
fixed high idle problem got aux fuel tank working, fixed cruise control, relocated and replaced 7 pin trailer harness, found a like new original tailgate, throttle cable replacement,
new windshield
gear swap 4.10's to Yukon 3.54s.
Tachometer/fuel gauge combo installed

I still have a lot of things to do, but the big ones are out of the way and I can drive and tow with this thing anywhere.

Huge improvement. You're talking about a 25% torque increase.

Bought new Semi Metallic front brake pads for the C20 today. I'll install tomorrow since I ran out of daylight today. Metal to Metal grinding on the rotor. I knew they were close last time I had the wheel off.

I was a bit shocked. These are AZ Duralast bonded semi metallic pads with the noise quiet plates on the back of them. Appear to be of good quality with lifetime warranty for $19.99. MKD52S Same price as O'reilly and same part # with Brake Best name. I only used AZ cuz I had 1 more $20 purchase to get a $20 rewards credit on my next purchase. I don't buy to much at AZ. Usually just fluids when I catch them on sale and Duralast Gold Batteries made by Johnson Controls which I don't do very often.

Got new shocks installed on the R20, not too bad after I figured out how to compress and hold the front shocks. I was defeated by the old leaky power steering hose though, no good way to get a purchase on any of the nuts ... And they are TIGHT. I'll have to give it another go later.

Got the brake pads installed on the C20 and swap the death wobble tire out with another used tire off the K10 that has the 14b FF installed already. Pics on my build thread.

I found a couple of 14 bolts, just gotta save a few more pennies! Cheaper to buy axles than to re-gear. Besides, I'm up-grading from 10 bolt axles!

Got the front end aligned today. Got a few small bugs to work out, charge the AC and a good detail.
