I like those underdash lights
Made some progress
The front axle is done with an Aussie locker, Longfield axles and hub gears. New oil is in. Marlin seals also. She is back on all fours. Just need to bleed the brakes.
BritKLR also fixed up my slide for the fridge, and tomorrow night I will mount it on the platform, and get it in the cruiser.
Slowly but surely....

well after this past weekend down and disney I have added a couple of things on the list.
ubolt flip kit, new power steering pump, H55F, ujoints and finish exhaust. add-a-leaf in the front. I guess the bumper and winch really adds on more than the heavy ome springs can handle. I have lost about a inch and half on them since they have settled with the extra weight.

Well, I replaced every coolant hose and clamp on the front (oil cooler hoses and rediator) trying to track down a coolant leak just to find out it was a faulty radiator cap.
I guess it was good to do anyway but geesh
