Finally got around to replacing the rotors, wheel bearings, brakes, seals, and oil in the front end. Also switched sides of the birfs and rotors and regreased.

Thanks for the parts Beno!

Wired up additional relay for the bar lights and removed those clear indicators under the headlights to wire in the new bar mounted ones, combination indicator/parker leds light test photo is when old bar was still on

Noticed a slight whine from the belts. Tightened them up. All is good now.

That wasn't the belts whining...it was your 3FE complaining of its inherent lack of power!

Hauled home a new bed we bought our older son. Had his little twin bed since he was 2, now 13. Got our money's worth there I guess.

Headed back up to bald mountain and fire lookout. Camped in pouring rain, thunder and lightening. Played a bit on v rock

Actually it was her squealing with joy because she doesn't have to worry about her head gasket blowing.

Fixed intermittent rear wiper and rear roof light. Turned out to be simple. 2-way connector inside left bottom corner of the upper tailgate. Bad earth connection.

Haven't posted much in the 80 section lately, been slammed with work and weekend trips. Here are some pics from last weekend's annual trip up to Black Balsam, NC. Awesome time as always. And now my 80 is at Trollhole's shop getting the front axle rebuilt. Been leaking for quite a while and I just don't have time to do it before a couple big winter road trips...so goes life.

@GW Nugget has been asking me to take his family up to the Sequoias for an easy day trip. That's where I told him we need to go.

It is a shallow pond

Looks like more of a splash then a bow wake!

In all seriousness how did the fan hold and electronics hold up?
