(Springs old and powdercoated new. Old Fuel Pump, new Shocks (FREE FROM MURRAYS LIFETIME GARENTEE ON THE SENSATRACK WOO WOO, Old Swaybar Links, New Energy Suspension Swaybar Links, new Energy Suspensions Spring Isolators.)

my mess.....








heres the basics of it... i got off work at 1, got home and started working... spent the first 3 hours breaking free all the bolts (breakaway rules) and then we droppe dthe tank. put th enew pump and strainer on syphoned out 10 gallons of gas put it back and heres where i am now... ALL of my suspension is off and th erear is off.. the springs are all powdercoated and im gonan wait for my rust inhibitors to dry then its all over again but in reverse ....


i dont **** around.. its my daily driver and i hate being without a car


so far, total cost of all parts: 52$ for fuel pump and 15$ for energy suspensions swaybar links... everything else has been done for free... zip zero, nada

Okay, you just have to laugh about the wrench and the impact. Tim Taylor would be proud!

If you haven't bought one already, be sure to throw on a new fuel filter while you are at it too.
