Thanks LT. Probably overkill for me, as I don't have a winch and my stereo isn't stadium-grade. Plus, with the more widespread use of LED's, overall eventual use would stay low. We'll see, though.

A more serious look at my cooling fan blade, and I'm thinking of replacing it. It may also be an item for other users to check. On the hub, between the blades, I appear to have cracks in the plastic, and it looks to be between every blade. That's not something I want to have to deal with on a trail.

I picked up my tap at Grainger yesterday. A couple of my belts came today. I expect the harmonic balancer, idler pulley and another belt tomorrow, along with my L.H. drill bits I ordered. If anybody has a need for a 14x1.5 tap in the future, let me know. I'll probably just stop by Mark Mitsu tomorrow and pick up a new crank bolt, it's just actually cheaper than driving the 120 mile round trip to Pa_Jero's house. I'm going to reuse the B-ville washer; it looks good and has a nice shape to it. I'll need a new drift pin, but those look to be fairly easy to get. Everything behind the H.B. looks fine. Nothing touched the timing gear or crank sensor.

It continues.
