[TEQ]

Got all my steering and misc components back from the powder coater last week. Finally got a chance to take some pics of them and get to work on the rig.

I had planned on stripping and painting all this stuff myself but time has been so tight that I decided the expense was worth it. I'm really glad I made that decision...progress!

I also got my rear heater back from Shane (AATLASX). He did a fantastic job restoring it! It will be, by far, the nicest looking component in my interior when i get it installed. The dude does great work.

lastly, I was able to pick up my 3.73 3rd members from NW Differentials. These diffs came from an unknown '79 rig and were in questionable condition. The casings were covered in surface rust and even I could tell the pre-loads were off. The front one was probably OK, but I decided to have them replace the bearings in both. They also media blasted and painted them for me.

Enjoy the porn while I get this damn oil pan installed...
