[Firingonall16]

Installed New relay rod and tie rod ends along with new OME steering dampner.

Like to thank my sponsor Bauer for providing this at home alignment til can get in shop for actual alignment. I used angle iron method after to make sure was accurate.

Stick to it.

Bauer makes a great gutter clean-out tool as well

Cleaned/lubed the window channels then did a lengthy session of 4door window races. LOL

It was a four way tie for last place.

Front output seal, lots of fun. Taking the t-case off is easy enough, but making the tools to do the job... Priceless.

Waiting for the machine shop to finish with my head and knocking off little projects. My alternator is disgusting...

Who carries the new brush kit? Mine is likely getting tired, never been replaced at 225k

Looks like a mouse got in under your hood... Little rat bast@rds!

I dare them to come around again, I got a friend named Benjamin in .17 cal that loves to take care of rodents.

The "best" spark plugs are what were designed for the engine in the first place. Bosch plugs have been known to cause misfires in Japanese vehicles and those ones with the extra ground electrodes really have no advantage.

Well maybe that would explain my sudden misfire on cylinder 3 and all the shaking and bucking..... she is running so much better now that I installed new wires and the correct spark plugs.

Also got around to doing a coolant flush today.

Fixed a sticky gas door latch, changed the oil (went with the OEM filter and the Rotella 15w40). Also, replaced the broken gas filter on top of the throttle body. Progress.

Finally dry , New oil pump cover seal and crank seal.

Air up the front drivers tire and your ready to roll!

Just kidding, nice work. Feels good to knock those things out I bet

Added a much-needed are rest, color is almost the same.
Used the original cup holder bolt and added a second one thru the metal behind.
It also gives you additional storage space.

@Toy4Fun2 I know it's not what your post was about (cool console 2.0!), but I dig your heated seat switches you have. Do you have any info on that?

The car was imported from Germany, so the seats are heated.
There was also a gasoline-based in-cab heather, which was removed.
I live in a hot country...

With the nice weather I decided I was going to wash the cruiser but as I was pulling it out of the garage noticed something leaking. Closer inspection shows the top of the 6th injector is leaking. Lovely! The good news is that the oil and coolant isn't mixing any more after I bypassed the oil cooler, 3FE life.

Cleaned up wiring a bit and permanently wired in my ham radio. Installed a speaker on the outside where I can hear it better. Up front on the delta VS console I’m building a custom gauge cluster for my turbo (still waiting on it)

Made a quick run to big bend to test out my iron man lift. Overall very impressed with how it soaked up the rough terrain. Night and day difference from my old OME competition coils. Rear drive shaft has a vibe on deceleration. I will start figuring that out next.
