Well, time for another update.

All the parts came in, but I screwed up the order and didn't get enough o-rings to do the shocks. Off to the al's to pick some up. No hpi one's, but they did have ae one's. Turns out, that those are a touch bigger than hpi's. So off to the internet again to order some.

Now that time is running out (I want the truck done before my 4 day break from work), I went ahead and put the shocks off to the side and started on the rest of the truck. The rear is done, requiring only a drive cup to be changed out. Tonight I'm doing the center (everything else) right after work and I'm going to reassemble the truck so I can take it home.

I'm almost there.
