Took a week off and headed down south along the Oregon coast and camped at Cape Blanco, Oregon before heading to see the Redwoods in Southern Oregon and Northern California. Took the truck and camper, not Snowball ☹️

Made it back to the shop today to get some more work done. Relocated (Centered is better) and rotated the rear axle, to give me a much nicer pinion angle. Have that tacked in to keep it from moving around on me. Locktighted the midshaft ubolt...
Jerry can mount! @Hokie LX came over to hang out and we came up with this idea, then knocked it out. I'm stoked.
