Rebuilt gearbox. Ready for the SOA conversion.
 
Spent this past week doing fieldwork in streams in north Alabama. Loaded up yesterday morning to head home and made it about 20 miles before disaster struck. Blew the left rear axle oil seal. I have had these develop slow leaks before but nothing this dramatic. Considering all the remote spots we hit during the week this was the best place for this parts failure to occur.

A bunch of trails and good experiences with friends.

Ahhhhhhh nothing. Lol. Recovering.
This is how she looks after last weeks, 5 day Mammoth trip.
Was airing out the tent, forgot to fold up until after dark, then realized it was damp from dew. So left it folded up but uncovered to dry out.

I’m in SoCal quite a bit for work. Where do you guys meet??
Same here, where do you all meet? I'm in San Clemente. Some of us visit the cars and coffee at the outlet mall in SC from 09-1100 on Saturdays.

Well damn, I redress w/ those only when there’s a surgical infection that won’t heal from the outside in... we call them wound vacs or is yours a new type of drain vacuum? No fun. Hope your doing okay!

Yup. Took the drain out the day prior to release which was collecting all the seepage. Once it was out the wound vac started picking up t he slack.
It's still super sore of course . I've had now 12 total surgeries.
I hope it's not infected, no spike in temp, wound site is a bit warm to the touch.

Any concerns with moisture between the sound deadening and sheet metal?
I durabak'd my cargo area. can't remember if I painted over the access plates or not, Hope I didn't. As that would suck.

Look great though.
