I was able to pull the timing chain cover without pulling the oil pans when I did my head gasket. It may not be recommended but its doable if you decide to go that direction. The trickiest part for me was keeping the squarish O-ring(11328-66020) in place under timing chain cover. I did a...

If that's the time and place then I should be able to drop in for a bit. Edit: Any chance of getting an updated link to the discord channel posted?

Added a 105-series downpipe and flowmaster universal cat to the previously installed OEM style replacement brexhaust muffler this weekend. I put a temporary elbow off the muffler until I run it the rest of the way over and behind the axle. I will likely swap to a more exciting muffler at some...

I have a some used but not abused OME J springs and accessories. I'd like to keep everything together for now. Hub to fender measurements prior to removal were 24.25" in the front and 24" in the rear. I'd say my 80 is on the moderately heavy side. 2x2850J Available again 2x2863J Available...

I am rocking the Powerstop pads and rotors. I think they stop pretty well and no brake dust is a plus. Its hard to judge longevity since my truck is mainly a weekend warrior and I do quite a bit of active shifting so the 5.29s are doing a lot of work for me on mountain roads.

I thought it was running pretty well but I had started to experience some intermittent vibrations and extended cranking when starting. It would start in 3-4 cranks a couple of months ago but more recently it has been more like 8-10 with some hesitation when it final started. The terminals on my...

Retired the zip ties and replaced my injectors and clips. Running silky smooth!

Had a great weekend hitting some moderates at WindRock with @bonestock, @WhiskeyBullets, et al. Cant wait to go back! It was a beautiful weekend and saw a bunch of pretty hundos and double hundos at COTR 2022. Flexing in the trenches: Bonestock cruising through a rock garden on 11...

Just to throw in my own Avid experience, I purchased a rear bumper from Avid in 2020 and it took quite a while to arrive(November 2020 to August 2021). I think the estimated turn around time was listed on the website as 6-8 weeks at the time. I had a couple of email's with Brandon along the...

Had a great time at GSMTR but didn't get nearly as many photos as I had hoped. There's always next year! Here are a few of my favorites. 40 lifting a wheel on 36/G6: Getting some heat in the tires on 36/G6: Pulling a ledge on 26: Poor shutter drag spoiled this one a bit but I still like...

Here is another conversion option: Pilot VAF to MAF converter with a bluetooth interface – Pilot Engineering Team - http://max.pilotpowersupply.com/product/pilot-vaf-to-maf-converter-with-a-bluetooth-interface/ I have one of these but haven't had much time to dive in. I still need a 95-97...

Swapped out my cooked CDL actuator with a new one from Partsouq. Happy to have my lockers back!

I discovered my CDL wasn't working this weekend. Diff fuse looked fine and relay clicked but no noise from the actuator so I decided to pull it. I popped open the motor cap and the telltale acrid odor of magic smoke wafted out. Armature and windings were toast! Gear box spins freely but...

Spent a nice little solo weekend at Windrock doing some site seeing, overlooks, and easy trails. Discovered my CDL is failing to actuate so I'll have deal with that before GSMTR. Found a lot of threads on the topic and will be doing some investigation this week. I checked the 30a fuse and can...

I am interested if it doesn't work out.
