Need three plates and three gaskets if doing the PAIR and EGR Delete. IIRC. I had three gaskets and two plates...

I was just planning on removing the PAIR, can you do one without the other?
 
All these new micro brews & IPA's are for limp wristers. It's part of the pussification of America!

Maybe, but then again, in Michigan the new law is a person can open up a brewery (or winery, or distillery) with their own recipe's just about anywhere vs. trying for a near impossible to get license to sell crappy budweiser. Tons of new mom and pop places that bring tourism and commerce here. The way business ought to be run. The American dream IMHO.

I’ll side with MI over TX seven days a week and twice on Sunday when you can’t even buy liquor in Texas on Sunday! FAWK Texas!

I suspected there might be a comment from you on the subject.
 
Speaking of poverty pack trucks, there is a 97 white locked 80 in the CA CL (Sacramento I think?) with cloth seats and no running boards for like 5K. Somebody oughtta be gettin after that one.
 
5hrs and got the diffs out... Not too bad. Just now wrapping them up to send to @gearinstalls.com (Zuk) for some 4.88s

BEST .... BEER .... EVER ..... almost.

This is the beer I drink all the time. Man it's good and will sneak up on you and pack a punch. If you like this one, try the Burton Baton. It's 10% and drinks a little smoother than the 90 minute.
 
Replaced the disintegrated front speakers with pioneer speakers I got off amazon. It was supposed to be the G1641R model but i got the G1644R model. I still went ahead and installed it, and found i needed to add some spacer to mount it.

Sound is ok, I am still on the stock Levinson head unit. But at least i can actually listen to something now without the rattling speakers. Next is the rear speakers.

Obviously going to leave a not great review on amazon.
 
Over Thanksgiving weekend we were visiting my parents in Idaho. Figured it was a good time to get a Christmas tree. Loaded up my little brothers quad and headed to the hills. (had permits for 4 trees). Cut trees for my house, my brother, my sister and my parents. My brother and I live in Utah so we shrink wrapped the trees to protect them for the drive back to Utah and tied them to the trailer. Our tree was really tall, but good thing we have a 14' ceiling in the family room.






Then this past weekend the Cruiser got put outside so that my son's truck could use the garage while we built a new front bumper for him. It's not quite finished but darn close.




 
Nice! I did the same thing two months ago. Just finished breaking them in. Well worth all the effort, but my garage still smells like gear oil...

How'd you re-seal the 3rd's to axle? I'm thinking about taking the belt and suspenders type approach and use the paper gasket with FIPG. Zuk mentioned just using the paper gasket. My truck only had that on there, but I really don't want to be tearing back into this anytime again soon. Want to ensure it will not leak. Any other advice welcomed.

I'd use one or the other, but not both. In my experience, using FIPG with a gasket just allows the gasket to squish out when tightening bolts. No bueno.

I prefer to use just FIPG. Permatex "The Right Stuff" works great.
