New aux fan came in before I took off for work, so I put it in. Almost can't tell it's running, that's how bad the old one was.

Looks like they delivered them all to the wrong place again. Could you go ahead and box those back up for me and send them my way?

I did get a box missing it’s ball joint lol. Box just had a cotter pin and a grease fitting. Someone else must have needed it more. Rock auto is awesome though and has already shipped the new one out.

It's pictures like these which have me extremely grateful my rig isn't in the rust belt. Now I know why you guys all talk about undercoating and fluid film so much. I live in the South. Is that pretty normal?

The good news is they can be had for very cheap brand new from amazon or many other online retailers. I just bought a set for my Comanche off amazon

Yes, if we don’t take active measures to prevent it.

Thinking prevent is a strong word but yeah.
Fluid Film is essential IMO. Part of my "Rust Retardation Program".

You didn't have to, though. You have a gun. You could've kept the bike AND the cash

Changed oil/filter and transmission fluid and swapped the Oil Filter adapter Orings for some OEM ones. Hope to slow down the little oil leak I've got going. Leaking about 1 and a quarter quarts per oil change (5,000 miles) right now also pulled an oil sample and installed one of those drain valves in place of the oil drain plug. Also cut the "legs" for the rock sliders hope to weld them up late tonight after the wife gets home from work or very early tomorrow morning.

Cool Front lift.

Put in my front lift , actually done it last night just buttoned it up this morning. Everything went smooth it took me awhile longer than it should have I took it easy I'm still sore from my injuries. I'll do the rear in a couple days my daughter is bringing her car over for some much need attention Thursday.​​​​​​​ I rotated these pics but it don't seem to have worked.

Got the front installed today

​​​​​​​That's nice PB. The red coils are a nice touch. Can I ask where you got them? Where they just a part of the Zone lift?
