Good job! On another topic, looking at the picture, are you sure the steering column is well engage in the gear box shaft? Better be sure then sorry!

I need to do this.......
Yes, why? The inter-shaft is splined with a ujoint on the end which connects to the steering box under a the cover. I think what you are seeing is just the end splines on the intermediate shaft?
So far I think it's worth it. With 3.12 Low range and 4.88s on 35's my 80 struggled to hold itself to a stop in low range. After deleting the ABS and LSPV the brakes don't even know I'm in low range. I drove around the block a few times testing the brakes and overall they do a much better job.

It's officially next on my list. I'm already part time so it's a no brainer.

Late post...also, I haven't posted in a while because I went through a surgery. A mass (ALMOST the size of a tennis ball was found at the base of my neck) so it was removed. Just felt like a very small cyst or something.
So, I haven't been up to much in the past month.
But this past Sunday (2/25/24), I went out in search of a spot to get some snow shoeing in before the snow melted.
SPOILER...The snow had already melted (Larch Mtn in Washington)

Another one going together, this one will have a little higher compression should be about 10:1 doing a little experimenting because it’s going on my rig. See if we can get a little more power out of it. Bored with 1.0mm over pistons.

Hope everything goes well with your surgery and recovery. Hope it's 1 and done. Good looking rig.
hahaha...that's the procedure to remedy an ABS light? I need the page number in the service manual for this one.
Can you rebuild these with your eyes closed yet?
Looks beautiful.hahaha...that's the procedure to remedy an ABS light? I need the page number in the service manual for this one.
haha, the light is still on but for a legit reason now, I'll likely pull the bulb the next time I'm in the dash. I've been meaning to remove it because it just struggling to brake in 4lo

I was working on a few things yesterday and had the passenger front fender (and snorkel) off and I noticed these cracks. I assume from body flex and making contact with the snorkel inlet where is passes through here to the airbox.
I welded up the cracks and all is well again in the world. Might be worth checking on your own rigs although I'm sure it's not a certainty on every rig with a snorkel.
