We used a air powered fluid extractor to empty the fuel and brake master then put it on each brake caliper bleeder and drained the brake caliper and brake lines. Then the caliper an disks came off next filled bay the sway bar. On to Tie Rod Ends and draining the front diff before we removed it. After that was out we pulled the coilovers out an the upper and lower control arms with the knuckles.

I'm liking all these SAS lately. Someone just needs to do a 5.7 swap already. I'd even be happy with a LS swap.

It's super cool what y'all are doing, but what's the point of doing a SAS on something just meant for pulling a trailer?

You guys aren't too far. Maybe I can swing by the garage and check it out in person? Once finished it would sick to see it out on the rock garden in Tahuya.

Any reason you went for a Limited? Are you maintaining the full time 4WD?
