I didn’t take any pictures but a little adventure last night, my buddy calls me up says they have a man lift stuck in the back yard of someone’s house and they need to get it before tomorrow. Well he said it was only 40’ in. Lol.
show up after dark, it’s 200’ in, spring thaw, lift is 15000 lbs. took 2 hours double line pull and finally a tow strap to get it onto the road with another friend blocking traffic.
my warn needed a workout anyway lol

 

Finally fired the white one back up and broke in the cam! Everything fired up as it should and the cam seemed to break in nicely and she runs super smooth and has a little more growl at idle. Will change the oil in the morning before driving it and I need to adjust the throttle cable as I over tightened it by accident.

 

This past weekend I put on the the new to me wheel and tires.

Before RR wheels on 2 inch spacers. Bought rig with this setup.


After 16 inch wheels on Meaty Boy Toyo Open Country M/T 245/75



Huge improvements.

Yesterday I did both diffs fluid change and a power steering fluid flush. This week its the inline thermostat, Trans fluid & filter, CDL transfer case swap and fluid. This summer is gonna be awesome.

 

I put on rear brakes. CPR. Calipers pads and rotors. So much better now. Fronts tomorrow

 

 

Installing 2k inverter today. Pics later

 

Kalahari had a water pump finally start getting slop in in so I replaced it, and then ditched the OEM 180F thermostat setup for the inline mod while I was at it. I also replaced the lower plastic Y with Abrans aluminum unit.

 

Mine was the same on my '03 when I did it @ 121k.

 

Ball joints. Yay.

 

I recall you writing before that you didn't see the value of the inline mod. Am I not remembering correctly, or am I correct but you decided to try it out? If so, what persuaded you?
