Yep since I got back from Cruise Moab my truck has been on the patio. So I decided to do some work on it today.

What I did after I got back.
relocated the rear axle perches for better pinion agle
drilled a and helicoiled the studs broke for the locking hubs
Took off the rear bumper
swapped from 8" to 10" rims

What I did today
Repacked the wheel bearings and put the hubs back on.
rebuilt the clutch slave
bought a new socket

What I need to do
Replace a few broke leaves in the front
have tires ballanced
fix the mount on the rear bumper
Make a clip on front bumper for street driving. No officer thats not a bumper it's a winch mount

Go Wheeling. I may do that sometime in September!

Man, you are a lazy SOB.

BTW, perch are good grilled, but I'd think they'd be a little too dry welded. JMO.

Hey I drove it today, I forgot what a blast this truck is. I got to go wheeling now!

On a side note I went to the Highway patrol office to try and get a book on the bumper law. They couldn't even sell me one, didn't show me one. just told me to look it up on the internet. They realy looked confused when I asked for a definition of a bumper.
