I painted my front dif cover and steering components, installed an aussie locker in the front diff, installed puck style bump stops in the bottom of the front spring buckets and made a transfer case lowering kit...pretty successful and productive day. I think this may have been the first time I've done some rather large projects without any problems or set backs
By the way...I highly recommend the aussie locker...virtually invisible on road...can't wait to test it out completely tomorrow

Finally got the time to put in my rear axle bushing, reinstall the drive shaft with the new ujoints. Just need to put the rear diff cover back on and see if that helped the roar in my back end. I think it may be the bearings, but I don't have the tools to take that on yet.

Relocated my license plate. Now it can be seen when my tire carrier is on.
Also picked up a MagLite mount, now to order the LED MagLite.....

Ran a can of seafoam through the throttle body to clean intake, changed oil to full synthetic, and found a clunk in rear end (shifting from rev to drive) while test driving.
Had loose u-bolt on passenger side rear suspension. tightened it up and clunk went away. thankfully an easy fix. thought it was rear diff going out!
