    On the way up to Sac to grab a stock panhard bar to swap in when I get the new correction kit welded on. I’ll actually hit all my miles today with this trip which is super nice, diff fluid will be here this week. Once I get that (and a few other things) done, I’m ready to roll

    Ok... So I finally got my ass to work.

    I've moved on from Coffee to Mt Dew.

    Timing is going to be crucial on this...

    I only have about 8 Dews on top of the cooler before I get to the 24 pack of Coors Light.

    That belt looks fine. Throw the cover back on, reconnected the rad hoses, put some coolant in and start drinking. lol

    The belt did look better than the other belts I've done. But the pump was leaking so I might as well replace it :notsure:

    But I like the way you think lol.

    Good day and now UFC is on ESPN and my swamp cooler is blasting.

    Got my compressor installed using a sleeoffroad mount with power steering relocate, redid my cowl air intake reroute with a thicker cushy trim @Twizted recommended (no more rattling noise, thanks Rob), and finally mounted my BAMF LCA skids.


    @Dex__43 helped me as usual. Had such a killer smile I had to take a photo

    I was leaking at the rear fitting a little, got that taken care of and I think I’m good to go. Finished up all my break in miles today so I just need to change fluid and I should be good to go. I’ll jack it up and make sure the lockers are working when I change the fluid
