Drained and put new gear oil in both diffs. The rear had some water in it but not much, the front looked as good as new and if I was a betting man it was factory 90w.

well, forgot to tighten the bolts for the tie-ins before i put on the bumper and i ended up using one of the tie-in bolts that connects the brackets to the bumper in the frame so its to short so my next day off ill be taking the bumper off and getting the tie-ins right and giving the herc a 2nd coat.

thats all for now

Towing seems to be the theme lately, I just had to tow my buddies ice cream truck to his house after he broke down (ignition switch went bad). I saved him $150 for a 3 mile tow.
