    Hopefully next weekend I'll get her to a place I can actually start working on her.

    Checked the ATF dipstick today and what do you know... though it IS on a slight incline the atf was literally 10" over the full line. Wonder if that's what's spewing everywhere, maybe not the engine after all. We'll have to see. :|

    Good looking stuff no doubt. Sadly won't be able to put any armor on her until I get everything else settled which is a lot. :p

    Haha, rest of the build has to come first. Don't worry though I'll get some sweet tires.



    Fucking battery ate shit today. Factory 07 battery with plenty of vibration/winching/etc so I guess all in all it's done good by me. <3

    Started up fine this morning, drove about 18 miles, parked it, got in it about 6 hours later and nothing. Door locks worked once, led dome light was on but I turned the key and the dash lights all died. I keep a DMM in the truck so we checked voltage and it was at 12.4, turned the key -- 4 volts! FUCK YEAH

    Load tested on an analog carbon pile tester and it wouldn't put out an amp before the thing dropped to 0 volts. The digital wouldn't put out an amp before the tester lost power. No idea what the hell happened but it was gone.

    130$ later and I have an Interstate MegaTron Plus 27F. Feel better about being in BFE solo now at least. Glad it didn't let go somewhere shitty.

    Fucking seal was all crooked in there, the flange sealing surface looked good and the seal looked good but the whole thing was cocked sideways, noticeably. Probably could have just sat it in there fully and square and it would have worked but I replaced the whole thing and cleaned everything up. Chase at ECGS sent this out for free, new nut and seal, got it quick! Easy because I have a solid sleeve. 200ft lbs and stake it.

    Does this mean it doesn't leak anymore?

    It shouldn't, the flange looked good, it seated well...

    I had a weird dream about it all actually.

    Hah! I just dreamt something to the effect of having pulled the flange off I found a knick in the surface and was all pissed off. That was pretty much the dream, but in reality it was good.
