So what’s the plan for her this week then?
Rails are mostly painted up to the shock tube. I can add the fuel and brake lines. I’m iffy on the fuel tank hoses that have been hanging there since last summer. Idk. Haven’t pulled them yet, I’d buy aftermarket as I know dealer won’t be cheap. All this covid and still no hazard pay.

To install: distributor, valve adjustment, tstat hoses, radiator, exhaust pipe and brackets, shift boots.......………
 
Oy..... Team Captain needs an assistant. Too friggen slow.
But hey, the makeup makes the pig (yeah yeah, I know it’s not a 55, zip it) so much prettier!

What a pain in the tailbone, thighs, knees, shoulders, spine! Ugh! Damn good thing I’m small. And another reason short hair is great.... being squashed under the truck w/ your head rubbing the 30 years of old grime glued to the undercarriage!

Someone make things easy... which line of the hard ones closest to the tank is the pickup? At the engine end, the one further inward or outward? It feels like the hoses want to line up w/ the full as the inner hardline and return as the one further to my right.

Hell of a job! Off topic, where did you get that retro landcruiser shirt?
One of my fav mudders in TX, @CaptClose picked it up for me at that meet, The Lone Star Round Up. I love the colors, all favorites.

Hey F, where is your rear diff breather?
Up.
It’s here. Just gotta recall the attachment point.
Damn you... prob in those two and the lines were attached in the threaded hole to the right.
F it. I'll extend the line up and off the rail like I meant to way way back before a wheeling event.

How hot is this?.... Thanks to Jeff who recurved mega months ago. I’ll tag him when I recall his mud name.
