Driveshaft in, battery cables repaired! Drove it for the first time since driving it home. Much better without shredded driveshaft noise haha.

Rear window regulator guides (the part glued to the glass) came off with regulator. Going to remove glass, clean, re-adhere.

AC still blowing cold, guess it's a small leak, will keep checking for dye.

Found rear seats and hardware on eBay!

I started to do the pcv mod, but realized it had been half done. The 'new' valve was installed in the intake but the baffle in the tube in the valve cover was broken off and still in there. Thanks again to this forum, I got it out and put the hose back on.

Next is registration and emissions. Readiness is set so hopefully.... Haha.

Going to use the post on here about the high mileage service (thank you to whoever put the shopping list together!) And chip away at that.

31 or 32 in tires will be my reward to myself beginning of the New Year if I get this thing as reliable as I can (hahahaha)

Played around with my new L8 disconnects today. A 2 inch lift arrives tomorrow so I wanted some before shots. Connected, without the CDL cause I forgot, the thing climbed nearly 26 inches high before I lost traction. Disconnected it climbed nearly 30 inches before losing traction with the CDL. The rear swaybar is still installed and connected in these pics. Also included a pic of the rear tire fully stuffed. It's a brand new 265/65r18 Nitto Ridge Grappler and it's close but doesn't touch anything.

Loaded over half a ton of travertine pavers into the back of it. Whooooo boy! Had to move some up to the passenger footwell to keep the front down a bit.
I only had to go about 2 miles on surface streets, but it was still a slow trip.

@WastedAccounts Pro tip: Take your old front sway bar links and put them on the rear sway bar for and additional 2 inches of travel in the back. It's a free mod.

I decided to put 285/75/16's back on in place of the 265/75/16. They look and feel good.

With the new tires.

The difference between 265/75/16 and 285/75/16

Spring only or will this work with bags?

Not sure what you're asking here? The say bar inks? Not sure if they're the same on the air bags vs. the spring models. I only know the springs lifts.

Or get the longer ones front and back.
Part numbers in the terrafirma TF220 set are TC986 and TC1818.
