Spent three hours claying the rust specks off of the hatch and tailgate. I guess they came off of my ballmount or the rusty "stainless" bolts that came with my LED pods.

Managed to get a few projects knocked of the Cruiser project punch list.
On Thursday I had a my exhaust replace with lightly used stock components (thanks VanGo) and Walker cats...turns out the rear cat was faulty from the factory. It was leaking at the seam where the two halves are welded together. So I have deal with a leaking exhaust until my exhaust guy can make the repairs next week.
Today I did some work on the steering system. The slip yoke was seized up on the steering shaft and would not allow the appropriate adjustments without removing the steering box. Now everything slides like is was meant to and was able to align my steering wheel properly. I also put in a new seal at the firewall where the steering shaft passes through.
And greased the drive shafts and emptied the PCV catch can.
The pile of parts is finally starting to dwindle!

Hitched up the Rzr and hit the offroad park ab 30 mins from town. Trailer weight of around 2,000 pounds was noticeable on every over pass. The tall ones required some full throttle action.
If course, the ac was also on full blast since it was 100* outside.

Got around to putting some paint on my sliders and cross-member/skid plate combo that I got from Mike at Bump it Offroad. If you need armor Mike is awesome to work with and he accommodated my wishes to customize the tube on the sliders to act as me of a step,, Cannot wait to find time next week to install them.
Got my head gasket job finished up , and drove the cruiser for the first time in 5 weeks... Runs sweeeeet!
A little wheeling in CT. with Yankee Toys. Good time.
