Dropped my heads off at the machine shop to get decked and a valve grind. $150 for the set. Can't complain about that!

Rebuilt rear diff, had a little bit of play in pinion and was making some noise. Bearings looked fine, pattern looked fine, backlash looked fine.. Who knows.. So reset pinion preload and backlash at 10 thou hoping it will make it happy, we shall see!



Once that was done and back in the truck I tore into the 1.4 t-case. Need to clean it all up and get the bearings and seals. Here is a pic of the inside of the LT230 for those who have never seen the guts..



I'm going to pick up a LT77 and LT230. Not sure what I am going to do with the LT77 (maybe an Isuzu buggy?) as of yet but I believe the LT230 is a 1.4 as well..

Flushed and bled power steering pump again. This stupid chevy pump is annoyingly noisey. I put the expensive synthetic **** in there and it's still loud.... May go back to the ZF

Last but not least I'm about 90% on getting a Salisbury rear and re-building it with 30 spline D60 guts. Probably e-locker to match my future Toy hi-pinion plans for the front..

I'd go Toy rear but the Ring gear on a D60/Salisbury is 9 3/4" here's a pic next to a regular rover diff...



That is all I have!

That's impressive jake, all I did today was replace some cluster bulbs. 2 pack for 1.99 (272-1092) at RadioShack.

After those posts - I feel so insignificant!

I pulled the after market stereo head unit out to prepare the harness for the JVC Arsenal unit I'm installing tomorrow...

Jake sets the bar too high. But now all he has for fun besides cow tipping is working on his Rover.

I ordered my air line, fittings, and pneumatic switch for my ARB locker today.

Monday I cleaned all my glass. Vacuumed the carpets. Washed the floor and cargo mats. Conditioned the leather. Now my *** slides all over the place. Lol
