Got the A/C compressor ,,,,,,,got the front sway bar in......That ended up being a project in itself (Long Story)..........Changed out the stock steering box for a quick steer #500 series box......and today I got the rear suspension installed....(Pics tomorrow)......We need to finish up the A/C install under the dash......should be finished and ready for A/C charge and alignment as soon as the new radiator gets here......
