Another beautiful day of wheeling in the hood.

Crested Saguaro cactus are somewhat rare but seeing two at the same time is a first for this Arizona guy

Video of the same - 80 series smooth....

Didn't get any pics but I met @ginericLC (who was in Utah to pick up an early 80 trans that was for sale) and bought a transfercase from him. Eric didn't have a great weekend but I'll let him tell that story if he wants. Mine on the other hand was fine and this t-case will get cleaned up and hopefully installed in a couple weeks. I'm pretty sure I have a input/output bearing that is doing a lot of complaining in my current t-case. I'll swap this one from Eric in and pull the other one apart for a rebuild.

I upgraded the front door speakers with Polk Audio DB651S slim mount 6.5" speakers, unplugged the connector for the stock amp.

I was able to mod it slightly and use the stock grilles.

Definitely nice improvement in sound

I (with help from a couple of good friends) finally installed the suspension and tires on my 94! Ive been staring at a pile of parts for a couple weeks now, while things have been busy at work. Dobinsons Flexi-coils and Panhard bars, Slee caster plates and brake lines, Fox IFP shocks and a fresh set of 315/75r16 KO2s. More to come, but I'm pretty happy with the progress...

Hit a big puddle about 18” deep at about 30 mph. (Couldn’t avoid it)

Code 21. Hot O2 sensor. Probably wiring or something. Of course I was sick as a dog Sunday and today so haven’t been able to crawl under and check it out.

Pulled EFI fuse. It came right back on...

I bought the truck with 84k on it and that was under the hood. No idea. Supposedly lost oil pressure then the guys kid kept driving it to the mechanic. Then they tried to restart it and that happened. I couldnt figure out why it wouldnt turn past a certain point since that was perfectly hidden by the engine mount.

Cracked exhaust pipe somewhere?

Or not enough cupholders.

Cleaned off the old paint from the OEM skid plate using paint stripper.

Are your o2's still in the factory location, low on the exhaust pipe ? I know on my 94 I had to move them because when it rained I would throw o2 codes. Pretty sure it was getting into the connectors. Put them where the PAIR system used to be and haven't had a code since.

Yep. That’s been the plan since I got it. Just haven’t gotten around to it...

How do you like those panhard rods? Look really nice.

Very stout design, and I like the double locking nuts.

I have these on my 4x4Labs bumper: 1X NEW 4" LED MID-TURN LIGHT CLEARANCE SIDE MARKER AMBER BEZEL TRUCK TRAILER RV | eBay
