Looks pretty good.
Lift functioned great. Lockers working aok, rubs in a few spots, need to adjust panhard bars. And the power steering... Pump is a month old and fluid is tipped off, no foaming, but making noise/tough to turn. Need to look into better fluid, and a cooler that works better, and check the belt for age/tension.
My power antenna quit working. I had to disconnect some wire behind the radio, because the motor sound was driving me crazy. Now I am proudly sporting a manual antenna, which only goes down half the way in. No desire to replace it now, maybe sometime down the road.
Had to tighten some bolts holding the side steps since they were loose for some reason. That's where the new creeper from HF came in handy

There is a plastic clip attached to a bracket that is supposed to hold that harness away from the EGR pipe. Mine was broken. I'd suggest checking that out if you haven't already...Y'all got me all paranoid with your horror stories of that harness next to the EGR pipe, so I added some more insulation to it. Even with my tiny hands that's kind of a bitch. Less fun in 100+ degree Sacramento heat. And a warm engine.
Passenger side landtank seat extenders done. Working on drivers side and going great till the rain came. Wife didn't like the metal shavings on the hard wood floor.

Did some dispersed camping along the beach in Michigan's Upper Peninsula:
The dog getting some fresh air
We parked right at the edge of the woods, where the sand begins.

Where exactly is that located?
Not that I'm getting paranoid or anything.
EDIT:
found it.

Put 21 gallons of gas in it, and drove to get a haircut. A week and a half ago, I had the tint on the rear door windows redone, will have to get some pics of that.
How far away is your barbershop?

I've been neglecting the 80 a bit lately, since picking this up.

Went to Gorman and hit the Proghorn trail backwards.

This is the exact hill where I learned about never letting your truck roll backwards in a forward gear. My truck stalled and I went backwards uncontrollably. Damn scary and caused the first damage ever to my rocker panels and destroyed my PS running board. That was such a long time ago. I've learned plenty since then
