I prefer the term "supervising" or "spot checking", but yeah!
Nah, they dont know where I live. This was from a pontoon boat, on the highway, on my way back from Uwharrie last saturday. Way to end a nice day....

Today, tightened the belts (from 40lbs to 80 or so), no more squeal, and flushed rear diff fluid, looked like new but did it anyways. Then checked the front, which was done when I did the birfs... that looked a little thick, so grease is getting in. But no soup on the knuckles, they are dry with occasional grease....
Lube the drive shafts and unions too... unwound and rewound winch, ready for next adventure

You know, I have no idea. They are 1/2 worn so donating to the 4wd school, military training will use them. I have 202,000 miles now, I think I got them around 180,000, 30 months or so....
They are 255/85. Narrower than 285/75 I had. Still man tires though. Looking forward to testing them next weekend. KM3's are coming out soon, KM2's price was hard to beat.

Tires, I like them! Lots of additional clearance and horsepower added

Also flushed and refill front diff, will have to do a few more times. Since I had serious birf soup when I changed them, so there was still some grease in there from before and just needs to get mixed-flushed....

Front seat covers, these were cheap under $25 from Amazon. Went in easy, may not last long, but worth the test.

How well do they stay in place? I have been told to "do something about the seats" before the trip next weekend.

Will let you know, have a long trip coming up this weekend. I bought them a year ago and never put them on, figure for $25, cheap even if disposable.
Looks good. Ordered a pair for the 40's magenta seats.

Got the VIAIR , and here are some comparison views with the cheap Superflow that lasted 2 years. Not bad Superflow, but overheated quickly and that was its demise.
The VIAIR was 3x the price, but it is beefier all around. Will make sure it works before going off into the wilds though.

Nice!! @jimsmith1370 just got one very similar (if not the same). Looks like a very high quality unit!!

It was on sale at Amazon, lowest price anywhere. And it is the auto shutoff unit, which will run only when air is moving through and should help with overheating.

Tired of hearing from glass experts that they already sealed it, and I have water on floorboards. Just do it yourself, easy peasy. Should have done it after installation!
