Did a little exploring today, got to really flex out the old OME stuff and show off my 4 lo skillz but the situation was hairy enough I didn't think about photos until it was too late.
Spent 4 days in the North Maine Woods. First time getting up there and it was worth all the miles. Hoping to go back in the fall. Truck performed perfectly, slept comfortably in the back as usual. I wish I could do multi day/week trips every month.
700+ miles of driving from LA, Nevada City, and the Bay Area. Picked up sway bar links from @orangefj45 and oogled at some cool land cruisers at Valley Hybrids on the way up north. No hiccups on the trip despite driving through some tough stretches of heat.
Looks like a great trip. Too bad it was ruined by running into that piece of junk troopy from @ofer bruhis
Finally got the RF all the way done. Got the new brake hoses on this side as well. Also got the smog delete pulley today and got it in. Seems the belt alignment is off a scosh, don't know how, it was in the smog pump as well. Starting on the left front tomorrow and change the gear oil and maybe I can finally enjoy the ole girl.
The goal is to take it to cars and coffee this weekend. I keep telling my old lady if I don't get it done, we're gonna lose the shop like that one show says all the time.

Still exploring around the Rockies with my kid.
In Moab now...

What kinda watch are you rocking? I'm a watch guy myself.
First test drive after all the work was a success. Probably need to bleed the brakes again, my brother is not a car person and I think got some air in the lines. Anyway, after sitting for mostly six years we tackled-
Oil change
Oil pan gasket
Valve lash
Power steering flush
Clutch master and slave
Smog pump delete pulley
Birf seal change
Front pads rotors and calipers
Brake fluid flush
Rear end fluid
Transfer case fluid
Transmission fluid
Front dif fluid
Greased driveline and suspension
Interior panels reattached
Radio wiring fixed
New battery
Fabbed a little battery hold down
Still have a new carb for it but trying to get the little bit more old fuel out of it.
Might be some other small stuff. But steering wheel is pretty far off but it's at least not pulling anymore. Always good to bring one back to life.

I can attest to that nut loosening. Happened to me a few times on my recent 2,250 mile trip after I rebuilt the box. Fun trying to figure out why my steering is progressively suckier as I careen down a mountain.
Good to know RevISK!
I thought the plate Redhead added was to keep me from mucking around with it. Glad they added that safety plate!

Muck around, just put it back when said mucking has commenced.
It's a shinola runwell and i've been very pleased with it!
Finally got my Solarscreens from Australia. Highly recommend these if you want to cut out the sun/heat during Summer months and provide a little privacy for your rig with everyday use or camping. Protects from UV. Suction cups make easy install and removal. They sent me a template to custom make a screen for my rear Emuwing. Took awhile going back and forth with international shipping but they were very helpful with communication the entire time. I have a set of rear cargo window screens that I didn’t use since I have gullwing windows I’ll post for sale if anyone is interested!
