Here is the cutting I had to do:

Front of lining

Rear of lining

Cut rocker panel and bent tab 180deg for new mounting point.


I also replaced/upgraded my CV clamps since the inner boots decided to spring leaks on me.
These were uber easy to install, stronger the the originals, and can be adjusted as the start to "relax". Not a bad fix until I can afford to start replacing shafts.

Installed SMAXX sway bar end links.


Also, put in a CB today. Still need the antenna and PA.


Also, I am officially a Trail-Blazer.

Postman dropped me a package today. The base was tan when it arrived. Thanks to Krylon Fusion, it is now hunter green. Not an exact match, but closer to my color and it will stand up to the weather. Now, off to install it in the rain..
