I put on the right front shock, repaired my caliper mounting brackets, bent my dad's c-clamp, determined that I need new calipers. That's about where I ran out of time.

course it can! and it has the torque to keep the rpms lower but still drive you into a spin...

I picked up my new calipers, and got my left side hub/rotor installed. All that's left on the front end is the right rotor/hub, change out the calipers, and put on the front diff cover and fill with fluid. Then it's the back brakes and shocks, leaky fuel line next to the filler spout. After that it'll be time to drive.

It will get a 6" lift and 35's, and mostly stock everything else.
