Well today was a 1 step forward 2 steps back kinda day. At lunch I went and installed the camburg steering rack spacers, on of which I machined yesterday. After that I pulled the IWE's and bearings from the knuckles, and while doing so found that I had a failed IWE as the gear split away from the rubber diaphragm also found a couple of cracks in the welds for the gusset set that need repairing. Once I get the knuckles back from the media blasting shop I will fix the welds and drop them off for powdercoat. Pictures of the failures can be found here:

This evening I cleaned up the old crummy paint and rust on the LCA mount doubler plates and prep'd them for some fresh paint, I also removed the stock headlights in preparation for my retrofits going in. I also ordered some stock to machine some new spacers for my Icon 3.0"s that should fit a little better with the camburg LCAs, they need to be a little thinner, and the icon ones are a little messed up after removing them from the LCAs.
