All I have left is to re-install the fender splash shields or whatever they are called, put the front wheels back on, install the skid plate and of course clean up the garage. When it's all done I will have about 10 hours into it. I'm also very thankful that my truck is not any older than it is, my hardware was not very rusty at all, but man those nuts are still tight.
This job would have been a whole lot worse if I had not read all of the information on the install here on TS. Knowing what to expect made this a whole lot easier. As everyone else has said having a wide array of tools is very essential.
