Looking for aftermarket headlights.
I put in aftermarket Lighting headlight and side maker lights and installed Sylvania Silver Star headlight bulbs. I drove down to my parents who live near Hilton Head Island in SC last year at night. That setup lit everything up nicely and even better on high beam.- bamsho

Rear end swap
I need a bigger jack, just have a small one here. If you thinking about it, I would def buy a new set of trailing arms with hardware, makes life easier. The bolts on the arm in the axle were frozen fast to the rubber. After you get the rear out, Id put the tires back on so you can move it...- bamsho

Rear end swap
Just finished up putting the new used rear in today. Only issue I ran into was the good used trailing arms had the bigger bolts and had to drill out the hole on axle and frame, no biggy. Took for test drive, felt and sounded good, no more moaning and groaning when I make turns from a stop...- bamsho

Yes, I'm taking a chance to on the new used unit. I removed diff cover and the fluid looks good. Only going to run it for a week or 2 at the most and change out the fluid. Everything goes well, should have her running this weekend.- bamsho

Rear end swap
Actually straight forward. I have "Bertha" ( expedition nickname ) on cinder block under the frame. The worse trouble is the bolts in the control arms rusting fast to the sleeves. Had to cut one bolt since it has to slide out towards the fuel tank. Actually I'm in South Williamsport, right...- bamsho

Rear end swap
Well got the bad rear out, you know something is up when you don't have the rotors on and driveshaft unhooked and it take real effort to spin the rear around. Now will swap over some parts, and hopefully have the new one installed is coming weekend. Actually came out with little headache...- bamsho
