Oh, the use of headless bolts for installing the front spindles was such a good idea to make an awkward step as easy as possible.
Well, the axles are back together and took it out for a short test drive. Seems to be solid and I notice that rpm's are different on the highway with the 5.29s & my 315/75-16 tires. A quick observation revealed at 70 mph on speedometer was actually 59 -60 on my GPS or about 2500 rpm. Will be taking longer and more involved test drives in the future. But for now, it's on to wiring up the Harrop e-lockers. Did some investigation & scouting already for switch placement & use of existing dash lights & figures. I will fix my burnt out OD light while in the instrument cluster. I plan on using the e-locker dash light figures as well as the LEDs on the Harrop switches. We'll see how that goes.
