I had another HG scare not too long ago.. it ended up being that upper right water pump bolt had come loose.

Betty is getting GBR 4.14 gears, TRE e-lockers next week and i am excited!

Quite alot has happened in the past several months. I bought dustys old rig and just couldn't quite get it going. The shell is getting turned into a trailer and we found that it for sure had two kill switches, one i didn't find.

Well betty number 2 got some upgrades and several parts are still waiting to get installed.

I have swapped out the suspension, third members wheels and tires(tires replaced),hd steering component swap out, half shafts(already broke one) i have the mantec snorkle going in, the rear bumper with tire carrier and the front bumper i may swap down the road.

I have swapped out all front bearings, i think ill do an upper engine gaskety set soon, just need the time along with an oil pump.
