And the tops of the front shocks kept spinning and I couldn't get a wrench on them to stop it. Good thing for my metal grinder. Problem solved after I cut the top right off. All in all I saved alot of money

Removed my (bent) rear driveshaft after idling in reverse on jack stands. Managed to scare the wife. Got a shop to build a new one for $135, but did not get there in time to pick it up. Doggone thing drove as smooth as silk on just the front diff. Also picked up a donor '94 sport with no motor. Parts baby!!!!

Got the brown truck delivery today: my super rock sliders and truss for my rear end... I changed out my power steering pump and new hoses then gave her a bath. Tomorrow going to paint and install sliders!! Then need to weld on truss for rear end, already got alloys in it with Auburn E locker with 4:56. It's going to be strong with that truss welded on there.

Got her ready for winter. Oil changed, anti freeze checked, new wiper blades installed and tire pressure checked. Nothing to exciting but it had to be done.

Congrats man!
Today I fixed an oil leak coming from the drain plug, replaced the water pump, thermostat, thermostat gasket, fan clutch and radiator cap and flushed the whole system.
Tomorrow will be replacing tcase fluid and differential fluid.
Near future will be getting my heater working (currently not working because it was disconnected by PO, probably due to a leaky heater core)
Gotta get my baby ready to go up to the mountain and play in the snow here in CA!

Sanded and cleaned my new floor pan when I got out of work. Waited for the xylol to dry and then it got cold out. I'm gonna try to paint it with chassis saver.
