What was done to your rig this week?

I have already purchased another factory pcm. You know, for science…
I do not think there is anything illegal in California about replacing a PCM. They do fail sometimes... So what if it doesn't get reprogrammed with the vehicles actual mileage.
 
prepping the Rock Hard FAD skid for install. Figured I'd paint it to match the Rancho diff sliders I have. Got base coat down. 1 or 2 more coats and it will be ready for install

Well.... Added 37in Nitto Trail Grapplers and discovered Ball Joints that seemed to be going bad...

Started working on it to discover that not so much the ball joints (probably could have gone another 20-30k on em) but the knuckle had balled out.

So knuckles replaced with Reid Racing knuckles and also rebuilt the Dynatrac Ball Joints.

Got the FAD skid installed today. Guess if I am going to run control arm skids, this plate will need to be modified as there seems no room to do so

Installed an OEM front driveshaft and Roll N Lock tonneau cover on my JT. Taught my son how to change a belt and his oil. Good weekend.

Finally (weather, work, and wife all aligned in my favor) got the inner fender liners trimmed out, stripped down, and repainted to accommodate the shock hoop. Got the liner, hoop, hydro bump and new fender installed. Passenger side all ready also, just needs assembly. Shooting to get the front axle under it this weekend, will probably have to do it in the rain 😔. I'll have to fab up some close out panels for some of that open space down the road, nutcerts and sheet aluminum to the rescue.
