    Glad I don't have to do it :rofl:

    Actually... I did mine, I'm just better and faster at it.

    In Robert's defence, he's having to do that stupid cork OEM gasket. Mine was just Permatex.

    Seems like the more I get done, the longer my list of things to do gets.

    -> Gas tank skid should be here tomorrow, need to paint and install.

    -> Elocker motor guard is on the way. Need to paint it and install.

    -> Need to finish my spare set of spindles and finally get rid on these squeeky bearings.

    -> Clamshell and front locker will be here Thursday. Need to install.

    -> Need to put the spare axle back together so I can start dicking around building a diff skid.

    -> Need to check tcase fluid level

    I'm going to see if I can make it out. Might not be able to hang out long but come and lend a hand for a little bit. I need to pick up that leaf pack from @Blue Canary too. If I had enough time, I would say lets swap my leaf pack but my back hurts thinking about that right now. haha.
    I'll update you guys later this week

    I'll be there around 8:30 with my bumper and balls. @essjay is coming with the ecgs bushing, removal and install tools, and dapper good looks. @rob1208 texted me and said he's not going to make it. We will work out his leafs pass off in a week or two. Other than that, it's Friday and I've had a few cocktails. Mel has been in Tahoe for the last couple of days and the dog is done with me. :rofl:

    If @essjay will be here... isn't he not that far away from @rob1208?

    I'll be there ASAP in the morning. Might have one other thing to do that I had been planning on pushing off until later, depending on how energetic I'm feeling in regards to using a grinder...
