Destroyed my Ba/10 tranny mount nobody can find a replacement not any parts store, not the dealership, not nobody. I ordered one from Rock Auto and they sent me one for a Ax-15. Ughhh. Also stripped out the crossmember.

drove it on a muddy road. It gets kinds squirrely with semi bald tires and crowned dirt roads covered in mud. Light rear ends are fun, lots of countersteer. Also good practice for winter.

Drove it into town and started hearing a new sound coming from under her. Pulled over to find my exhaust hangers broke off and the pipe is sitting on my T-case cross member.

Nothing I can do about it right now so I'll just drive it until I can get them welded back on. Not bad I guess after 7 hours of off roading yesterday all I broke was 2 exhaust hangers.

installed my rough country control arm drop kit and like so many before, night and day difference!!! Bumps that I normally avoid that make my dash creek, now I no longer have to worry about.

I replaced the cap, roter, spark plugs, and spark plug wires yesterday. Then it threw a cylinder 2 misfiring code so i decided to put in the neon injectors i bought a month ago. I will see if it is misfiring tomorrow or not, hopefully it isn't.

installed new hydraulic lifters, now just waiting for the rocker arm pivots from AutoZone. Found a guy to weld all the brackets onto my 3/4 ton axles (I don't trust my welding enough for the suspension) so hopefully within the next couple of months - RC 6.5" long arm + 3/4 ton axles + 33x10.5x16 AT tires w/ 8 lug wheels

Took it out for the day two test drive of the new rear brake system and fuel tank vent repair. No leaks. Also wrote up a detailed How-to on the brakes and submitted it for consideration.
