What are you working on?

Changed the oil 2 and a half weeks after the last change.

Also fixed the vent that I destroyed installing the grab bar the day before I left VA.

I had time today to pull the rear actuator. After breaking two bolts after applying heat, I pushed the easy button and grabbed a spare that came with the extra diff I bought. Also drained and filled both diffs and t-case, now that the gears are broke in.

As I am getting older those 21 year old faded plastic headlamps on the GMC made it hard to see at night. Hope new lights will fix that!

Outlaw 2’s? What size tire?

FamilyCamper · Apr 14, 2025

Successful day yesterday. Placed the engine and moved the hoist out of the way for a while! Happy with how the welding went.

Knock offs, but similar, no clear coat. If I can clean them up enough, I will spray a coat of clear on them. 35 x 12.50 x 15. I need to off set the 10% underdrive from the split case 4:1 gears I plan to install behind the H55f.

Another win, cleaned and set the intake back on and then set the hood back on for a while so I could ditch the tarp and help the junkyard look in my driveway.
