I finished up my frame mount bracket for relocating my steering stabilizer. Test fitted the bracket with an old stabilizer I had laying around. I hope to mock it up on the frame in the next week. Still need to come up with the bracket/mount for the tie rod and then should be good to go.

Also order a new fuel pump for $14 off of ebay. Should get started on that mod in the next week.

Changed a tire. Had a blowout within a mile of getting off the interstate.
It was only 12 years old, WTH!!
I think my spare is original. Michelin 4X4 XPC sn: is from late 1996.

Hahaha man, that is an old tire.

I'm stranded with a flat now myself on the highway. Pulling a full sized work trailer, did about a thousand miles before an old Walmart patch blew out. Here's the best part: I couldn't find the bottle jack, so I had my roadside assistance come out. Then as I was waiting for an hour, I did some forum searching to figure out what the deal was and realized that, oh, that red thing under the battery box I've looked past a hundred times during my hundreds of hours of work on this thing, that's the jack.

Well, why sweat when I can get a change for free?

Finally got the bumper in. Installed it, the plinth, and end caps. Next on the list will be new tires or I'm going to end up like Howard. You can't tell from the photo but the tires have cracks around the tread. They must be at least 10 years old.
