Seats are now tied to the cage with 5 point harnesses. Also installed a Better Built metal box to put gear in to clean up the cab plus keep it from beating me up when I roll it.
What did you do with your truck today?

Seats look great Rocky
I used my truck to pull out 2 shrub stumps,
For those with OBDII there are some nice little applications for your tablet (if you have one, or computer or phone) that will allow you to display gauges and other factors the ECM on your specific vehicle reads, along with showing trouble codes and clearing trouble codes among other things. It probably works better on the newer vehicles that have OBD2...my engine is a 1999 year model, use the word torque in a search on your android or applie apps. You buy the cheap app and then have to get a little "dongle" thing....that connects to your ALDL connector in your car...the dongle connects to the android or other device by wifi and some will connect with blue-tooth. The one I'm using right now is wifi, I was too lazy to go hunt down my real scanner, but now I have to find it, to set the crazy cam sensor, once I get that installed.

Drained and filled the fan clutch with 20k fluid. Got a little warm climbing hills in NC, maybe it'll help the a/c too.
Put in a second tailgate hatch, Wits' End lockbox and added a sticker.

Ha! Love the sticker placement !!
I got a little done, new exhaust, new rear springs, shocks, lower links and panard bar. Now it's time to get started on the front.
@jason in tn links and panhard look beefy, you make them?
Also, the rear shocks that came off the 80 seemed to have some charge left if you are still looking.

No everything is ToyTec stuff, I had planned on making my own but after pricing joints etc and comparing with ToyTec I couldn't build them for that price.
Definitely still interested in the shocks and springs buddy, I need to get over your way soon.
been on the special wild goose hunt for a engine scanner that reads camshaft retard offset. I thought my old innova did, but discovered that no..the 3160 does not support that, then found out that the 3160e does not support that live data feed either. The recalled my friend has a Autoxray 6000 scan tool and I had borrowed it a few years ago paid to have it upgraded....and it does support that live data feed I need. I need one for myself that does this. I've seen a lot of bad reviews for the autoxray products so I dont' play to buy one of those....seems like too many stories of little to no support.
If you have a 5.7 vortec engine the camshaft retard offset is key to getting your distributor installed and replacing the camshaft position sensor. I'm still hunting around and emailing folks to see whats out there. Innova has told me that none of their product line supports this (I don't know how true that is), I've email autel to see what they say. There are some other brands and devices but the $$$ threshold jumps considerably on the pro device that I've been told does support this live data feed. Of course the GM shop tool (tech 2 does)...but that gets into serious money too.
Some of this appears to be a marketing ploy.....sell a tricked out code reader for 200-$400 that only looks at 6-8 live data points...to get something that looks a better range of data points.....its north of $1k.

Got a smoking deal on a Trollhole top, just installed it yesterday!
Timing belt and water pump changed, steering rack is done for the most part, still have several lose ends to tie up. Nothing I felt was pic worthy.
PMs will keep you healthy on the trail, brother Jason! Good stuff
I turn this big thing..........
....into a bunch of smaller things.
I heard you were the best at head jobs!
Looks familiar. You going to do the oil pump cover seal while you've got the access?
