This just came in for lockers, gears, knuckles and sliders.
Not everyone’s style, not sure I would paint mine this way but I like it. It’s painted not wrapped and looks super sharp.
Cheers

Perfect! That is all I need. Much appreciated!

Bathed.
Rebuilt the leaky PS pump this evening. Getting it back on was a bit trickier than I expected. Clearly I didn’t burp the system right. It’s been morning at me like crazy. Sorry I didn’t take pics. My shop is a war zone right now.
There is a great write up for the rebuild in the FAQ. For me I had to remove the lower stud to get it on then put the stud back in. I’m sure there are easier ways but that is what worked for me.
Hopefully I’ll get rid of that morning sound. Next up is rear main seal. Then my Rose won’t have any drips left.

Met some buddies up in the Idaho panhandle for some social distance camping and fishing. It rained on us one whole day, which knocked down all the wildfire smoke and turned the cutthroat to full on fall spawn / pack on the pounds mode. Also, I got a cool new earring and once my buddy pushed it through my ear, crimped the barb and backed it out, I managed to catch another fish with the same fly. Retired that fly on the spot for a place of honor in my Cruiser's headliner collection.

I'd leave it. All the meaningless piercings people get these days, at least yours is classy and speaks to your values.
I like it! I was considering this concept for "the squatch-mobile" my daughter drives, but we went with a less *ahem*, classic, look.
Better the ear than the eye!
Would be curious to know what hood vents those are?
Is this a plain LC grill without the logo? If so, did you make this or buy it?
Last bits of baselining. Ordered wits end PHH and will probably do the short sections by heater valve too, since all other hoses are pretty new. Now have front shaft removed for a vibe confirmation while rear diff finishes draining - patience and daily soaks broke fill plug free without rounding 
new ones going in
Front joint (almost no angle) is good, rear joint (a few degrees) isn’t terrible but not as consistent.
Edit: vibes confirmed, though maybe still just a tad from the rear. I’d call it an 80/20 split at the absolute most. Hard to say if a DC shaft will cure this, based on other things I’ve been reading. Haven’t yet taken the right time to get accurate angle readings.

I remember uttering those words. If you're as dumb as me you'll just start replacing other parts willy-nilly
Haha, I feel ya. I’m aware & have that thought every time I feel like I’m about done. But really, I “think” these are the last “necessities,” but necessity isn’t necessarily part of our vocabulary.
Did you make it out the bowl solo?
