Yep! But, I'm moving it to the bumper, so the front will lose that extra foot... But, the back will keep its extra 2'.

I also found that I have the passenger side brake light out on 44... It looks like the passenger side brake light feeds from the driver side light... probably some old brittle wire broken. I'm going to run a new wire.
When I pulled off those rear light protection thingies (they cover the back of the rear lights), I found the PO cut all wires about 1" from the back of the sockets... He must have had something else wired in at some point.

Probably for a trailer lights converter.

Most likely. As I understand it, he towed 44 behind his Class A RV.
Yep! But, I'm moving it to the bumper, so the front will lose that extra foot... But, the back will keep its extra 2'.
channeling my inner Pirate, I must say that you will have to be careful going down hills... you'll roll it (after I was told that my 40 was too short and I would roll... I must admit, they do come up with some interesting theories there
)Je comprends que vous ne sont pas foudre parce que les biscuits (pour qua pas "les bons bons?")
alors tous fait une mal de tete
and I'm not going to go find ague to make it technically correct. Some people and their children!

Power steering is all powerful once again!!
I had a doctors appointment across town yesterday, so I dropped my power steering pump off at the place that rebuilt my gearbox and picked up my rebuilt pump on the way home, a couple of hours later.
I installed it and aligned the pulley/belt last night and my power steering fluid cooler and filter arrived last night. I hooked everything up today, filled the reservoir and bled it and all is again good.
Here's my rebuilt pump
I installed the cooler right above Toyota
The filter is behind the driver side headlight
I also reconnected my hood lock... You can see it in the picture above. It was disconnected during the rebuild.

I also moved my HF Badlands 9000 winch from my hitch carrier cradle to my front bumper... I had to quit picking this winch up.

I installed handles in the same place, on each side, of 44, in the event I have to get someone to help me carry it.
You probably know those are actually steps... And think they seem high in the side... To access my rack, I step up on the open front windows and step one foot to these steps.
