I changed my oil, I used Kendall 15w-40 semi syn and a NAPA Gold oil filter.
Burned my arm on the front driveshaft greasing it because it was so hot from the drive home from work.
I have a nice burn blister on my arm. lol

Default I posted my Disco for sale today -

A hard decision. I am still wavering but I just posted 'Josephine' for sale here to forum members first.

Started to loosen up the fittings on the prop valve. Then found out my new prop wont be here until Monday....snugged everything back....

Then... I started on the rack light wiring. First, I ran the switch signal wires through the fire wall, worked on adding new OEM light switches. Just about where to fit them and will wire them up tomorrow morning.

More to do....for the next week....gotta love these little projects....

Okay...got both OEM switches in. Need to remind myself to get new bulbs for them. They will be used for the top two banks on the front of the rack.

Going to build a relay/fuse box that will sit next to the fuse box in the engine compartment. The rear work light and the additional power outlet will also be fused in the box. The plan is to make it all look stock....lets see if it stays that way...and not like a bowl of noodles....

Finally picked up a 36mm wrench and 2 lb sledge and got the fan off. Wanted to pull off the oil and trans cooler lines, but apparently the fittings are larger than 7/8". Why is everythIng on this truck supersized?

Sounds like you actually know what you're doing. I'm totally clueless with my roof-mounted lights, mine are nearly ornaments right now..please keep updated
