I don’t know. Maybe I need more practice.



I need to step up my game. I should be able to do way more than this so I don’t forget how to do it.

Thanks for stepping up and pointing that out @peesalot

I also have been eyeing those wheels.
They seem legit for the cost?

Yep, great wheels for the money. If you don’t want hubcaps they are my go to wheel

I give zero sh!T’s about hubcaps so I guess I’m G2G.

Thanks

Drained all the fluids out of the transmission and case. No metal fell out so that’s good. Also seems the seal between the two is good.

Front axle fully apart. No grease in that knuckle either and only 50% of the cone washers again.

I have to replace the cracked brake lines and even after a good soaking with Kroil the heads of the brake lines are snapping off. Add new brake lines to the list.

Off to get some Zepp purple to soak these knuckles overnight.

90 wt is now $89 a 5 gallon bucket. Zepp $50

Spray paint $15 a can.

But 5% inflation

Went ahead and got the axle out of the way so I can get all this shackle reversal nonsense cut off and clean the frame or the rest of the shiny black flakey paint so we can build it back correctly next week

Want me to send it to you?

 

[peesalot]

Nope. But I appreciate the sentiment. Lookin good in the storm trooper costume tho.

Inflation? Build back better? Was that too direct? Couldn't help myself.... However tremendous work as usual
