With the new tires it was on to steering! Some DOM and some heim joint. Slap a little PSC ram on there and we have beefy hydro assist steering.

After going through a couple rads I decided to change it up. Cut the old rad support out put in a rad out of a E350 van as it was shorter and solved my problems. Also put a transmission cooler for a 6.0l in and a bigger p/s cooler

With the new cooling package in I figured it build a skid plate and better grille protection. Built a Tcase skid plate at the same time

Finally got tired of breaking outer axles so I went with Yukon 35spline chromoly ones with TMR drive flanges. Machined the unit bearings to accept the bigger axle shaft
