    Damn I need to start my roof rack. All the metal is sitting in the garage. I got some new light bars for it even. Aurora light bars, one row is amber, the other is white. Can run one or the other or both. They don't throw very wide but I like the hot spot, I'll get some spot pods for the sides. Got a 30" for the top and a 10" for the back as a dust light and reverse/camping light.

    I got them from a guy on here, he got them for a discounted price but here's the company with everything they have.

    Another goal this summer is gear and T-case fluid change. Not looking forward to the front diff.

    I've put 11k miles on it and I have no idea when the PO changed it, if he did. The front diff bolt is an hex screw, should be fun. I want to get it done before my overland trip.

    No clue, I'm sure it will be disgusting. When I get the transmission swapped I'll see if he can do a filter and new fluid on that too.

    The high today was in the upper 30s, definitely not ideal but shit needed to get done and today was the only day we both could. Went a lot better than I thought.

    Off tomorrow and Tuesday so I'm hoping I can button up a few more things

    Will hopefully have the rack mounted in the tracks tomorrow and ready for some paint.

    Plus some dreadful electrical bull crap

    CVs and LBJs will go hand in hand at least. Hour job each side with an impact. If we hadn't used Zach's, I'd still be doing it

    I'm getting a cordless impact for the job. Figured I should knock it all out at once since you have to disconnect the LBJ's and rotors to get to the CV's anyway.

    We didn't have to do anything with the brakes. Just the 4 bottom LBJ bolts, and pull it out of the way
