You still planning on another shakedown run this Saturday? Who's planning on going? I saw some work party info posted on the local board for this Saturday too so I'm just checking.

That's the plan. I'm finishing the rear driveline tonight and will drive it around the block a couple of times, but should be good to go!

Finished the rear driveline and install. I'm going to run it as-is this trip, get some street miles on it to check vibration, and throw it on a lathe and check for run out if it's terrible.
@boots4 , the Mrs reminded me we have an event Saturday, so will be wheeling Sunday (I know you usually don't do Sunday's), but will have the same schedule.

Saw the post on the local forum too. Perhaps next time.

Drive shaft looks way better. Hopefully it gives you trouble-free operation.
 
Finished the rear comp cut (didn't want to do that, maybe an extended tub in the near future), and put bolts back where they belong. Tomorrow I have some little things, but otherwise will be packing up the little truck for some fun this weekend.
 
Looking forward to the trip report. how does the comp cut look? I’m stretched to 105” and absolutely hate the comp cut but the wheel base and driveline length is great to have...

Any pics of the overall stance?
I'll grab a pic in the morning.
 
Looks good! How much did the rear end come up compared to when it had leaf springs.
2.5"
The base of the rear bumper was at 30.5" before the links, and now sits at 33 even. I'm expecting the rear to settle about an inch over time and when loaded.
