    If my GF doesn't show this weekend, I will be visiting the Upull yard and seeing what's left (XBox, the web stay). From what I can see, they scrapped all but one Dodge D50. There is only one Mighty Max (1994) and one D50 (86) left in the yard. Boo.
    I will also attempt to install all of the interior A/C components and re-assemble the dash - this will finish the interior dash upgrades.

    Of course, the stock fuel pump was leaking gas, so I installed an e-pump. Then the stock pump started leaking oil... FTW!!! So, I went to pull the mechanical fuel pump and discovered that this was not possible without removing the cam/rocker assembly. The fuel pump activator arm snakes through a head bolt and the Jet Valve block off I installed. The arm is almost shaped like a "Z". I bought a block off plate from a big block Chevy which bolted up correctly. No more problems.

    Since i bought the later disc brake assembly (94 Mighty Max) I installed the driver side with a new lower ball joint. I have to do the passenger side soon.
    BUT... reading through Tortron's thread, he noted that 97 Montero dual piston calipers are a direct bolt on to the later (Mighty Max) spindles.
    Yeah, $160 later, I ordered the calipers. So, now I have a set of early spindles/caliper/rotors, a set of later type calipers and a new set of dual piston calipers and pads on the way.
    I also ordered drilled/plated/slotted rotors with ceramic pads (which pads won't fit now) I guess a lot of it will be for sale in the market section and on eBay.
    I lose my shirt every time...
