Spent another day on it this weekend. Replaced lower ball joints with 555 units from Cruiser Outfitters. Driver’s ball joint was in very bad shape, passenger side was not that bad but replaced them both. Also replaced the window moldings. Overall it was a productive weekend. Just waiting for more parts to arrive now. Next up is front and rear sway bar refresh, flush power steering fluid, replace the front diff support arms that are shot and replace CV axle shafts & drive flanges.
Pics of the progress.

I just acquired all the parts from Cruiser Outfitters for the LBJ replacement for my ‘07 as well. I’m a bit anxious with it being my first go at such a project —I’m hoping to rent a press kit from local Advanced Auto for the LBJ but not sure on what is best for the UBJ separation to disassemble?
