Got the driver installed with the planted bracket. Top notch quality. I can sleep in this thing now it reclines all the way back and I have the much needed leg room and lumbar support! This thing is truly orthopedic! Still deciding if I need the heated seats it comes with everything you need to install, just not something I ever use in my other rigs.

Delta arms installed! Also found driver side wheel bearing a little loose so pulled of the flanges and torqued down.

Well got this pig dropped of probable 4 months ago and just picked up. I moved to a new spot and didn’t have time luckily the guy was very accommodating and let it sit for awhile.

Got it all back with a surprise fresh paint job for free!! Kenner machine in Yamhill Oregon is the best. Thanks to @shocktower for the recommendations. Unfortunately my new place didn’t have a shop or garage so we are having one built and it should be done before Xmas. Than I can assemble and swap out the old pig. Bored it out .5 and got all new pistons. Going to go overboard like usual clean and paint anything I can touch.

Finally getting back to reassemble of the rebuilt motor. Hopefully I can wrap this up in a month or so. Gotta watch some otram videos I can’t remember where everything goes exactly. I got a new snap on digital torque wrench and will
Be deep in the fsm!
