Finally got a break day. Went fishing only one keeper a 22" Red Fish (yummy). And a bunch of garbage...toad fish, sheephead fish, ladyfish and salt water catfish.
Then step-dad who was in town helped me fidget with the driveshaft to get the long shaft installed

Got the spindles installed.
*****BTW, I used the 2nd 4Crawler Bearing Preload option (42lb, rotate 5 times L/R, Loosen, rotate cycle, 42lb, rotate cycle, loosen, rotate cycle, 21lb final tighten. I used the pull scale to test bearing preload. Driver 4lb, Passenger 7lb. Guide says between 3-8lb is fine. Can I get an opinion on this?*****
Hopefully will get the hubs, tie rod and wheels on for test drive tomorrow.
Lets see how tired I am though
