Well, crappo. The diff seal I replaced on the passenger side is leaking. Totally my fault, I questioned it when I installed it.
nobody in town has one. Loveland has one and it will be here around 1:30.
It's about to unleash a rain storm of biblical proportions.
My truck is on stands in the driveway. I did manage to replace the lbj's, no problem there.
The passenger side is in pieces waiting on the seal.
My neighbor, bless his heart, decided this was a good time to shred branches, next to my truck, with some kind of chain slinging, oil burning, 1920's era wood chipper. Shits flying everywhere, he's fucking oblivious.
fuck my life.

 

If I can get that fucking seal in the right way, I'll be done fucking with the front end and can actually drive the damn thing.
Oh, and a guy wants to come by around 2ish to see the Scout and possibly buy it, which is blocked in by the Tundra.

 

Good luck. Hopefully it sells.

 

Hang in there, Brett!

I know what you mean. It's raining like crazy down here, and while my truck is in the garage, it's still hard not to get bummed out when you have the time and the energy, and the weather is shit.

Good luck!

 

Took the truck out for its first time with my wife yesterday. Successfully completed the Schubert Trail Loop in Woodland Park. Wasn't too sure seeing as how my Taco is completely stock, but it did great! Other than 1 or 2 instances where I felt some clearance would've been nice.

Overall had a good time with the wife and close to convincing her that we "NEED" a lift/armor and so much more

 

Mission accomplished. Pederson had a seal, don't know why I didn't try them first.
Hopefully no more leak.

 

Is my Scout sold?

 

I had faith you could handle business

 

not yet, guy flaked.
There is another dude in Leadville who is supposedly coming down next week to buy it. He's texted me daily for 3 days now to make sure I still have it. I'd like to see it go to Leadville, I think it would be right at home there.

 

If I was not saving for a house, I would buy it, would be fun 3 year project to get ready for the son when he turns 16.

 

I've prolly had a couple dozen texts, calls, e-mails, everybody is "really interested", but that's as far as they go.
One was from Wisconsin and wanted to drive it there from here.

Hard to believe I paid $400.00 for it over 20 years ago and drove it home. It was pretty straight too. Not anymore.

 

Thanks again, @TMFF!

I really appreciate you taking your time out of your day to help me out. And thanks for the badass homebrew!

 

Fluffhead is such a great song, thanks for putting it back in my head. Can't go wrong with you enjoy myself either!

 

Tim Is a good guy like that. He's made time for me several times.

 

@Star-Lord

Put a oil burner in that Scout!

OGE Install completed today. Just need to do a little fab work to relocate my ARB compressor that lost its home to the secondary battery.

 

I wonder if you can mount it like mine? Not sure if the slee mount will
Work on on your 2009.

 

Yeah, I believe it is supposed to work. Debating on if I want to try to fit it where my winch solenoid relocate or just pick up the Slee bracket. I may mess around with it on Monday, then swing by Slee on Tuesday if I can make it work.
