Diff gears and 35 inch tires. In the spring I will redo my turbo oil drain and redo the rear lift on my truck to get rid of blocks. No picture because its something that there are already tons of pictures out there for. Its a pretty standard procedure.

Very nice.........the thread's back on topic....hehe (Sorry, Clint 
)
James Dean......
Clean ride. That's one long list...lol.
If I may mention something, the barrel clips you have on the front receiver for safety chains (I'm guessing) won't strong enough for that. They'll pull right out. But, maybe you have other intentions for them and it's moot.

Timing Belt
Water Pump
Injector/Throttle body cleaning (200$ ripoff BTW)
Done at the Dealer
Other stuff I did last 2 months:
New brake booster
New Starter
New Battery
Still needs attention:
Engine needs a tune
Pinhole leak in radiator
Passenger CV boot
Tie rods are making noises
Relay Rod Recall
Flush brake system
Flush power steering
Alas I am broke.....so the list will have to wait.

kinda sorta half way fixed back window and got tailgate openable (wasnt when i bought it)
Put in stereo and 4 speakers, also added 2 6x9 speakers in side compartments in back (made custom box) 6 total speakers right now. Need to disconnect the two 4" speakers so i dont burn receiver.
Putting in some fog lights
Still having to figure out how to get my grill guard on. Not an exact fit.
Think thats really about it.
Ooo.... and have a K&N air filter in it.

Also have a GPS and Whistler XTR 695 Radar/Laser detector. Guess I could put that.

Tuned the thing up!
I got so busy on this SA swap I let the tune up time go a little long.
I can't believe how much tune up parts are now. Its like they went up $100 overnight!

Put my winch on and played with it yesterday, changed oil after a year of sitting new 20w-50 baby!! Also drove it for the first time with SAS and 37s and stock gears: lets just say I have to put it in 2low (no front D/S yet) to get in the driveway. Put my new wiring harness in after the crappy wiring job I did after the fire, and I put in a new optima red top! Also played with my new hi-lift i got from my sister for christmas.

Looks good! Nice tribute.
And every1 knows you can mix an acid and a base '51......or else it's a hot time in the old town!

the previous poster thinks he's a real stoichiometrist, but he's not.
opps, sorry, wrong thread.
in other news, I am yet again amazed by my truck's 4x4 capabilities in its completely stock form. you should see the hill I had to pull my cousin's MX-3 turbo up today, on quarter treads! woot woot, go 'Yota!
and Matthew, you are forgiven, but only this one time! j/k

That's because anything that comes in a spray can is not catalyzed. That means there are no isocyanate to lock the molecules together. As soon as another solvent comes in contact with it, (like gasoline, degreaser, WD-40, etc.), it will soften it back to it's original state. It’s hard enough to keep good catalyzed paints from being affected. Just something to keep in mind.

oh I know what stoichiometry is all about haha.. spent some time studying chemistry, and loved every minute of it. true, you weren't referring to the mathematical relationships of the reactions, but its all pretty relevant.

Today I dropped my skid plate to investigate my P.S. pump further, it is def leaking mad fluid. it also makes funny noises. I guess thats another thing I get to replace...
it makes me sad, but I will "feel good" as soon as its replaced haha.
