Front end re-build
UPDATE:
Due to unfortunate circumstances, I was unsuccessful in getting camburgs. Factory doesn't have any. I didn't call around in due time, school exams and such kept me busy. The retailer I went through ( I trusTED them ) was unsuccessful at locating bilstein 5100 units as well as FOX IFP. Upon being unable to get 5100 I inquired about the IFP and they said ships 3-5 days. When refund from 5100's cleared and got the call-back to order IFP they tell me its a 3-4 week wait to get them from FOX. Time passed and I get another revised shipping date at which point I canceled the order. Don't shop for suspension parts at this place. If anyone must know DM me. I am not open to putting this store on blast over the interwebs....
Long story short, I just noticed upper bushings are split in half still intact. Getting a loaner from my parents to drive to school in the meantime, may drop off truck at dealer tomorrow or Wednesday.
To do list looks like this:
Upper control arms- OEM replacement
Lowers- Check & remove and replace if need be
driver side Outer 4x4 boot- Remove, regrease, replace
New rotors and pads- ( stoptech slotted cryo's and wagner TQ semi pads
)
Hub & Bearing- Check and remove and replace if need be.
Coilovers will wait on for a little more, springs are intact and I don't have rust issues so I will not worry on springs giving up just yet. Still have hopes they'll last till I can get a proper drop bracket lift some day when I finish school.
Anything else? Unfortunately school keeps me busy otherwise I would rent the BJ press and curse around the driveway every time I lose the socket and wrench I dropped 5 seconds ago.
Hopefully everyone started their week off better then me
Cheers

Ahh the joys of working on a vehicle haha.
If it makes you feel any better, I'm pretty sure the last two tests I've taken have been the worst I've ever done compared to the class averages, so . . . the time of getting straight As and actually caring are so far gone . . .

I know it gets real, too fast...almost felt like mods were not worth doing this morning because of the current situation I am in.

Took truck in this morning, should have a brand new truck this evening, returned gryphon to stock, and was surprised how beautiful she runs at idle vs tuned. Still don't like granny shifting though with the stockbox
. I'm going full removable muffler too so I can put it whatever I want.
I'm surprised you lasted this long, first semester into university and I was done for.

My actual engineering classes aren't bad at all, it's just the stupid classes and generic ones that are getting me. Sounds good! Hopefully everything feels good when you pick it up.
Got the truck running like new again. John you were right, them BJ's gave up quick. One day they were intact, the next day the tops had split in half already.
Hopefully 8 more months and I graduate. Then I can get back to enjoying life
Thank you everyone who had an input on my thread
