Took the wife and the dogs out to Vashon Island here in WA. Drove around, saw some cool old cars, had a cider tasting, good times all around.

Cool imported Delica.

My other love is old BMWs, specifically the E30 chassis 3 series cars.

Nice 87 I assume? There are a couple of us on here that were/are pretty heavy into the E30 world back a decade ago.
 
Haha 🤣 yeah I guess I did bud. Peace of mind, the stock pressure gauge is useless a lot of the old 80’s.
I'm aware. I've done an oil pressure test on my diesel. But you're not gonna catch me running oil water or fuel lines in the cab.
Mechanical gauges get mounded outside. Or like in my race truck they're electrical with mechanical backups.
 
Slaving away on exhaust..

Received my seatbelts back from safety restore. Looks solid took about 14 days to return which was do to the holiday sale $80 a seatbelt to install new webbing and clean the mechanism. They took the old labels off and sewed them into the new webbing.

Took the dingo out for some frisbee yesterday and then mustered up the motivation to pull my front diff and send it back to marlin crawler for warranty repair. Was a brisk 25 degrees this morning with snow flurries. Had the diff out, packaged and dropped off at FedEx in 3 hours.

Where did you source such a great cover?
Found some dude on YouTube called Cruising the Land that did a review and sold these covers so I just emailed him and scooped one up. Fits great, if it weren’t for my fixed antenna it would be perfect, covers both front and rear bumpers.

Also interested in where you got the cover, and the drip pans you have the diff/shafts sitting in. Been on the hunt for both for a minute now!! lol

Here is the video on YouTube I found, I think his email was listed and I bought it from him.
If you have swing outs, roof rack and a big hoop bumper it doesn’t fit as good but I have no roof rack, swing outs and slim bumpers so it worked good for my needs.
The drip pan was graciously given to me by @OGBeno but I think harbor freight sells them.

Right on! Thanks for the info! I cant believe Ive never seen these at HF, but Ill look online right now. Appreciate it!
 
This doesn't look like a good sealed weld, or am I wrong?...

Easy way to find out…. Can’t tell if it’s got penetration at the flange and pipe surfaces, from this photo, but with that crater of a start stop, with tube bevel showing, (in my business we call that Incomplete fusion) I would say it’s a possibility.





Lot of ugly start stops on those, missed bevel edge and all are great places for failures to start and corrosion to get a foot hold.
 
Checked my wheel bearings today and the passenger side was completely backed off the lock ring was blown apart. Tighten it up for know and ordered a bearing kit. Dose anyone know what this box is for that is wired to my tcase?
