What did you do with your DII today?

I am visiting my parents, have a garage so bedlinered my fender flares, ladder, and wipers. replaced Power steering pump and flushed the system. Sanded and clearcoated my headlights a la chrisfix on youtube.
Went well, got some overspray on my car as some newspaper became undone, but he flares and everything look much better. Not that anyone but myself will notice.

This is the second time I have done it. Are you sure it is the pump that is groaning. TBH, my steering has been getting worse and worse, and I think it has been my steering box the whole time.

I had a blown rear crankshaft seal which I honestly think was due to excessive pressure from adding a second FRAM PCV valve to the left side (drivers side) of the Bosch 4.0 engine. So a second $4 FRAM PCV valve cost me $750 plus down time driving Myrtle.
Possibly because of this additional PCV and additional bac pressure, my engine rear crank shaft seal is pissing out oil. Luckily the maintenance shop owner asked me what else I needed done since he would be working on it for a day. So he ended up replacing my modded front driveshaft and bolts/nuts (I've been procrastiniating installing it for months now), changed oil and filter, changed transmission filter/seal and fluid and installed new ignition coils for $750.
I bought a oil catch can from eBay and going to install it this weekend. Expect more pictures from my adventure....

Changed tranny fluid and filter, and transfer case oil. Transfer case is a PITA. Fill plug is blocked by parking brake cable and you can't get a straight shot at it due to brake drum.
Anyway, pretty sure the t-case had never been drained based on that plug location, the fact that it was in there pretty tight, and bone dry when it came out. Also just a guess, but I'd wager no more than a quart or so came out, but over 2 went back in.

I got my pump from Napa, and it had a limited lifetime warranty so they replaced it. Loved that.
My steering has been stiffish, and odd for years. I think the Steering box has been going, and blowing the pumps. I have one on order and am hoping that fixes for a while anyway.

Managed to successfully plated the rear frame and welded the broken bracket of my rear panhard bar back on to the frame.
Somehow must've arc'ed electricity or had a bad ground point lol because I fried both stainless extended lines in the rear I guess I can only hope I didn't smoke the ABS lines as well.
Woe is me lol
