Rented a couple cabins along the Wallkill River in Gardiner NY.

Nice view on the way back down from Lake Minnewaska.

Started to weld up my 4X4 Labs bumper, not without issues...

- One of the side panels was insufficiently bent during fabrication, causing 3/4" or larger gap from cap. Frame not and has not been tweaked, can't blame it on that... Still like the kit, however.
- Insufficient power in the garage only allowed for tack welds or 1/2 bead until breaker tripped. - Upgraded power in the garage
- Ran out of 75/25 for my welder.

This is a fun project, can't wait to get it done.

This weekend with the assistance of my buddy Mattnatti, I took care of the CEL: 0325 (Knock Sensor #1), by installing a splice.

Nice to have that darn CEL off for the time being.

What? It was more like you coaching me through the rear heater bypass. :cheers:

Maybe we can get some other stuff done this weekend.

Yes! All of the above. Funny thing about axle rebuilds is that it is not all that hard just @##&^& messy and time consuming. But in the end well worth the effort. This one makes #2 for me.
 
I changed a bunch of fluids....the ones that aren't leaking...i was amazed to find my rear diff vacuum sealed and a full of golden oil...lovely...plugged her back up and topped her off...
 
Installed my gopro on my windshield, so I could capture awesome dash cam footage of stupid drivers on the road, and expedition footage ;)

With the help of Pete ( 94srunner ) I cleaned my battery terminals and watched him install a new upper hatch handle. Beat you to it Pete......hahaha. Thanks for coming by the garage today. I look forward to you getting the suspension.
 
checking new shock clearences, doetsch 8385 and 8386 replacinng edelbrocks which were too short for the 850j 860 springs. The travel works but I feel they are too soft for my set up compared to the edelbrocks I took off. Time to save for some custom valveable. These will work for the time being. The truck can get all the way on top of the jersey barrier...

^^^Thanks Matt!
 
Ripped into my front axle and knuckles. Replaced all the seals and bearings. Swapped the birfs. Not as bad as I thought it was going to be. cleaning all the parts sucked!
 
I crashed an a****** who was speeding at an intersection. His doors got wrecked but my bumper just got... bumped and dented a bit lol.

Now I'm having a custom 5mm steel bumper made hahahaha.
