Did the ball joint on my 93 a year or so ago. Pretty simple of you take you time. If you have a shop press that will save you alot of time. If not a ball joint press works good (obviously). Just take your time, you'll be good. BTW the old ball joints can be taken out with a BFF also
BTW how did you mount the grab handles in the cab? My wife is knee high to a grasshopper and has a horrible time getting into my truck

i primed it with some rustoleum white primer and then for the black i just used the $1 walmart cans lol. i just made sure to put it on nice and thick. doubt it will last as long as rustoleum premium roll on but for now, if i just wash it real fast you almost cant tell a difference

from what i can tell... they do bold in exactly, but, he did mount some 2 in. square tube to raise them up a little. then just drill holes in top and bottom of square tube and bolt the seats to the sop and floor to the bottom

BFF? lol. and i drilled 2 pairs of holes ( just eyeball the distance between the two pairs) for each pair try and keep the two close enough together so you can feed the paracord to the other one (the hardest part). there are number of knots you could use but after i 1 piece of paracord through each individual lpair i tied a lanyard knot for the two so that i had something to tie a snake braid to. getting it all to connect isnt too hard it takes a little bit of thinking tho.
