Started off the day going to a cars and coffee event ..three 40s, one 55, one 100 and one 200. And about 150 other cars. Sorry no photos. Finished the day replacing my inner boots for transfer case and transmission. Here is what I took out Of transfer case boot. No boot on transmission.
PO used screws for the transmission boot. I replaced with stainless M6.

Got some new cables ran to the ground and starter.

Got a bit ambitious and broke the blower motor resistor while cleaning up the connectors. I soldered in one from SOR, but now my low is barely blowing. I didn't even realize it was blowing until I turned off the truck. I didn't check the resistance before I installed it, but apparently it should be 1 ohm. I'll be diving into this I guess this week.

Test drive to make sure radiator hoses and burping were successfully performed. Freezing coastal temps today. Wondering if there is any way to get more BTU’s out of my Vintage Air heater with the 4 Row radiator set up on my 40?

Which beach is that in MA?
 
Thanks, I should check it out. Used to spend a lot of time out on East Beach on Chappaquiddick, first with my 62 and alter on with the GX470.

Agreed. Have it on my phones and iPads. It is great when you are on a bareboat that doesn’t have good nav. Ive used it in the Caribbean a bunch.
Never bareboat cruised the Caribbean yet but hope to. Sailed to Bermuda but went out of range with Navionics chart.

Picked up some used Thule 387 gutter mounts off of eBay (they’ve been discontinued) and paired them with some 65” Inno load bars as Thule doesn’t make square load bars wider than 60” anymore. Personally I’ve always preferred Yakima racks but from what I’ve read it seems clearance is an issue with their gutter mounts unless a spacer is installed.

Pleased with the strength and feel of the racks, will be used mainly for surfboards during the summer so won’t be too loaded down. Can be removed in just a few minutes if needed, which is also convenient. Gotta say I’m loving the look so far!

Drove over to the other side of the divide to pick up a nice Smittybuilt lock box for some future use. @REZARF I hear this may have been in the back of your 40 at one point!

It has been a productive past couple of weekends.

-Winch mounted up on the stock front bumper with a bracket from @powthief19 and OME lift installed with Bilstein shocks.

Happy with the outcome, hoping the back settles in a bit more, loaded up 250 ibs of sand to help speed up the process!
