if you ever have an impossible set of O2 sensors and access to cutting and welding equipment, heres

ha, that's pretty creative!
I just borrowed the O2 sensor wrench kit from autozone. That along w/ my 1/2" drive wratchet plus 18" extension and universal joint, it was a walk in the park. BUT, I did remove the coolant tank as well as my intake track. With those removed it was VERY easy to get in there and work.

All new wheel bearings - check. New Stasis suspension - installed.
I'm going to drive it for a week or two and let it settle and to get the ride height where I want it and then get an alignment.
After that I am going to start in on the engine.
We'll have to meet up soon so I can give you some tools.
