    So what’s up, the sliders on yet?

    Finished my front bumper up today.

    Still so much to do though

    Maybe later this summer or fall we can meet up for a trip!

    Great design! Love the tubes on the early body style. They went too boxy and square head lights after early 80s

    Well after three years I finally got the shelf clear of parts and them all on the truck. Not sure what to do with myself.

    Fabbed up a little cover for where the old shifter was. Burned in the sliders. Hot day in the garage.

    Went out the Stephen's Loop or whatever it's called. Truck performed great minus having to much PS fluid and it bubbling over a bit. My buddy took some janky video but the articulation was great. I'll try and screenshot the vid.

    How did you like the dual trasfer case. I finally got to use my 4.7 low range this weekend and it handle well. No bouncing issues or high revving

    It was great but very much like hitting the easy button. Since it was the shakedown run, and solo, I kept using it so I wouldn't stress anything out. I'm hoping that as I learn the new awesomeness and capabilities of the truck, that I stop using it to compensate for shitty driving versus when it is truly needed. That's all on me though :D

    And having the starter turn over the truck and just start crawling is the best thing ever!

    Definitely an easy button. So much torque, I started having flooding issues again due to the angles it was climbing.

    You guys using using both trans mounts on the duals? I plan on installing mine as soon as I get my motor running. I currently have 1 bomb-proof mount with the stock t-case. Not sure if I will need 2 mounts.
