Finally got my trailer wiring sorted out, truck had a 7 pin round plug when I got it from Japan, but it was mounted on a bracket from the bottom of the rear bumper, lowest point on the rear of the truck always hit it off-roading, and the plug was wrong for North America. replaced with a 7/5/4 pin multi-plug mounted in the rear bumper, and had to wire in a signal convertor to make it all work. Now I can pull the trailer and get out snowmobiling!!!
Installed the DC shaft from Landtank.not the traditional weekend but its my weekend. its nothing compared to the icelandic 80 thread but we got some snow this morning and i head up into capital forest for snow driving
Replaced my speedo-sensor o-ring (thanks mud!) to stop a small leak in the TC. Topped off the TC.
Decided to check the level on the front diff since i have a small leak at the pinion and found it 2 quarts low! WTF? I know it didn't leak THAT much. Must not have been properly filled by the mechanic that re-geared and rebuilt my front axle. I can't think of any other way it could be that low. If i lost that much fluid it would be everywhere. All i have is a little moisture at the pinion.
Just goes to show: DIY!
So i decided to drain and refill both diffs. Extended my diff breathers while i was at it.

Four Peaks.
Installed my new dual lid fridge console lid from Akela last night, finally some storage space in the center console, love it!
Did some snow wheeling, a ton of winching, and got some body damage. All good fun minus the dent in the door. Also had a caliper bolt come out going downhill, put a new one in and all was good, but very well could have been disastrous if I hadn't heard the caliper grinding on my wheel.

A few more.
Attempted to replace the passenger side tail light harness.
Discovered that it's worse than i thought and needs a new socket on the truck side.

Got out for some snow fun and SAR training... Nothing like wheeling in 5' deep snow... 10psi with double bread loc's, plus my nice 7765lbs makes her a tank!
