Not much. Little trip through local res with my son. Little hiking.

Very nice, which compressor did you go with?
I love the fact that I don't have to deal with a compressor on my 80. Next week I'll install the factory OEM locker switch. Clean install, no need for three more toggle switches.

Nice! We wired the Harrop to the OEM switch too...way cleaner! Oh yes I did! Harrop/Eaton E-Locker thread

I'll be cutting the output shaft of my 6L80E this week. Hoping Akashi suffices..
And to those that haven't tried it yet.. find some Japanese whiskey. I was blown away by how good the stuff is.
Last time I saw water crest the Glory hole was probably 93 or 94. If this rain doesn't let up soon and for a long while, there will be a market for bolt on pontoons in place of sliders.

A few questions. What rotors and pads did you install? Also can you say what gearinstalls charges for the work depicted in the link?
Had the same thing happen to me on #6..Took me longer to realize this than I care to admit. But what works well is a long angled pick.jab it into the rubber and twist it out.

Ken checks in here on ih8mud and we'll have to let him quote it. Go on his website for contact info-he's very good about getting right back.
I've had 3 diffs recently done by him with harrops and can give my highest recommendation.

I did a little fence work around the farm. The remote made life easy
Rufus was driving and Mikko (neighbors dog I refer to as "Kitty") was shotgun. Slowly becoming a 
shade tree mechanic. Motor is back in and I am making progress on the electrical. Should have waited an extra weekend to get injectors back. Putting everything back together while the engine was out of the truck would have been SO MUCH EASIER! Wasted Saturday trying to get the EGR pipe reattached. I finally gave into the temptation of #6 and said F#*^ It. I am constantly amazed at how high my tolerance is. Sunday afternoon was a breeze thanks to my daughter installing the EGR pipe. Sped things up a little after that.

The pads and the high performance rotors are from Terrain Tamer in Australia, their US importer is Cruiser Brothers. Cruiser Brothers
The re-gear and harrop install was $350 per third. As you can see from the link, he is very detailed and knows his stuff. I had the parts shipped to him direct and I sent two third members to him and he shipped them back read to to install. I drive my truck daily so I picked up a couple of thirds and sent him those so I could keep driving my truck until I could get to the install.

Man, the things I would do with 3 hands. Soldering maybe down the list somewhere.Nice! We wired the Harrop to the OEM switch too...way cleaner! Oh yes I did! Harrop/Eaton E-Locker thread

That's not rust, it's Canadian patina...
Still the weekend. Holiday today. Friend came by to motivate me and we started tearing into the head gasket job. He was the designated board crawler.
I will say one thing, owning a truck that lived 95% of its life in California and New Mexico is a HELL of a lot easier to work on than one that has been in Canada all its life. These bolts are coming out like they were put in yesterday.
Attack #2 tomorrow night, then hopefully have parts to put it back together for the weekend.

Yep, my buddy managed to get them out with two pieces of TIG rod bent with little hooks on the end. What a pain in the nuts.
I finished welding up the holes from my fender flares and threw on some monstaliner.
I also finally finished up my front bumper. It's an old Warn bumper...I believe it was a factory option on some chevy products. I may be mistaken. I took 5 inches out of it in order to narrow the overall profile.

If you're willing to drive up from Portland(?), I'll definitely keep you in the loop. Heck, I'm sure we can plan something before that too. Plus we need another 'Jason' to take @Ridgemaster place since he's moving to Texas. I forgot, what are your thoughts on Texas @LS1FJ40?
Cheers,
Salue
F$&# Texas!
