I started pulling the drivetrain out a little while ago. Had to stop after an hour due to company coming over. Tomorrow is the day where I actually pull it all out.

I'm ready to pull! Pulling engine this weekend, guess I'll install the STS oil and vacuum lines, the KB BAP and the Racetronix kit this week while I have all driveline pulled. That way it will be nice and tidy. I can zip tie all the stuff to the brake lines in the tunnel.

Anything else I should do while the driveline is out?

Dude you are asking the wrong person.. considering we are using your website and print outs from your website to do our installs

Seriously though, I think the only thing that I can think of is that you can install new sway bars and shocks (there will be no load on the links as the cradle will be out of the car hence no squeaks ). You already got DTE Brace etc... I dont think of anything else that you could.

BTW, take pictures of everything and update your website with your excellent writeups, as we will be needing those later on maybe
