Gross! From what I can tell, believe it or not 15k miles may be the sweet spot.

 

Still waiting for my alternator to get here.It looks like it will make it Monday.Should have my IIDTOOl by Wednesday.I did change the rear diff fluid today(Did not look too bad)and updated the breather on the front Diff.By the end of next week I will be ready for new tires.

 

Got my alternator in this morning.I would have taken pictures but I was feeling like crude.
I will say it wasn't as bad as I thought.I Was able to get to the tensioner by just removing the fan shroud.Easy to get to if you remove the passenger tire and wheel well and plates from underneath.I should get my IIDTOOl Tommorow from Lucky 8 and I am down to tires.
Looking at Nitto Terra Grapplers but not sure of size just yet.

 

Damn,I just had to say down to tires.Its a rover,what was I thinking.Just ordered hubs for the front.Right hub just started squeaking when turning right.

 

Installed new hubs on the front today.Much easier than bearings on a D1.As soon as I was done and took it for a test ride Fedex dropped off my tires early.

 

The tires came off again today and while they were off I flushed the brake system.Now all fluids have been changed.Installed new rims and tires.Nitto Dura Grapplers 265/60/18.I have a 2" lift with the IIDTOOL.Let me know what you think.I would have gone with a simpler rim but cannot complain as these were closeout and it was $1,200 for the package.

 

It has been a while since I have had a chance to work on the truck.Today I installed a National Luna split battery system with a Optima yellow top.Not bad to install after I purchased a pair of Hydrolic crimpers.
