Getting closer...

My sister's C10 that I've spent many hours working on finally got some paint!

Whoop whoop!! Thank you Bubba @ ExodusJeeps!!

That little guy did the trick!

Anyone ever use one of these to pull a broken zerk?

I tinkered a bit with the tailgate again today. The hinges just didn't feel rigid enough. I kept having to tighten them. Turns out I was crushing the four cheap washers that came with them: So I tacked on a support on the gate side: Then welded it up: Then painted and reinstalled with 8...

They don't line up straight anymore either. The rear is a bit higher than the front. It's possible they could survive a few more hits, but I wouldn't bet on it.

Went out to SMORR a couple days ago. Had a little carnage, but nothing crazy. I broke the driver's side mirror somehow. I'm not exactly sure when, the mirror just fell out when it was sitting still lol. Rocker Knocker did a number on my passenger side rock slider too. Nice scrape and dent...

Butters took me out to SMORR again this past Saturday. Lots of ruts after all the rain we've been getting in Missouri. Rocker Knocker lived up to it's name and pulled some mounting bolts through the pinch seam and body; I guess I'll be retiring my cheap sliders and getting something a bit...

Finally finished Jan's lighting (OEM style HL and LED fogs). Nice to be able to see at night again. Left: new, Right: old. Much better.

Threw together some brackets today and now Jan has low profile fog lights that the tires won't knock out!

Happy Flex Friday!

Took him out with the wife to the woods last week for some peace and quiet camping. Bonus: the roads to get there aren't great ;)

Maintenance Jan still has some rattles going down the road (it's not clearance with the control arms like I thought.), so I thought I would do some maintenance on the front axle. I did all of her ball joints and unit bearing assemblies on Friday: I was kind of hoping it would make...

Took Butters out for some cold weather camping last weekend. Nice quiet day in the woods. I woke up to everything covered in a layer of ice from the freezing rain overnight. Glad the new winter gear was warm enough!

These represent my feelings toward bushings pretty well I think...

Here's the finished bushings and the new adjustable arms to boot: The vibrations are gone, but now there's a new rattle (at all speeds) that I think may be a clearance issue with the beefier arms. It's at least off the jack stands, which is an improvement from last week!

I Hate Bushings. I've been feeling some drive line vibrations lately while accelerating at 35-45 mph. So a couple of weeks ago I took a peek at my front drive shaft and control arms and saw that the bushings were a little worse for wear: Two weeks later and now I'm about finished... I hate...

Here's a better picture of the leak (this is the one I meant to post):

What is this and how should I stop it from leaking?: This is looking up behind the radiator. Oil cooler? I was changing the spark plugs and noticed the line was loose running up the backside of the radiator, so I zip tied it back to the broken clamps. Then noticed the fitting on the bottom...
