So been a bit since I've been on but hey life is life. I've recently finished replacing valve cover gaskets due to the driver side leaking onto the heat shield an burning off. While I was at it I swapped out the factory exhaust manifolds for my cheapy headers... tons of fun.

When you follow what looked like a small gravel road off another gravel road and find out.... It's a dried up water drainage "stream". :tongueclosed: Don't mind my u-turn...

Here was last weekend's adventure I had some extra paint from the wheels so I matched the auto hubs cause they were all mast and corroded. But upon inspecting the auto hubs my DR side one has a bit of slop in the "pilot" bearing I guess, in the bottom looking in. So the hunt is on for some...

Thank you sir! She was a cherry when i picked her up but as my off road needs increased ive found much need of attention in the maintenance department lol

Yes indeed the 5100s are on the docket for sure.... just didn't have the time or cash for em right then, now, soon.... anywho my brother tig welded the eyelet back on and have had no issues rolling it as is.

I installed some 1310 spicers for the ability to grease em, keeping them rolling for the long haul vs solid u joints as my intentions are not hard core off roading.

Nothing to impressive but ya know

So update after a while of silence... I've got the 1" body lift installed and it went pretty smooth. I opted for the 1" vs the 2" because it involved less alterations of components to accommodate. I did have to remove the stock rear fender flares and roll the inner flange to clear the tires...

Turned out great! Not to much but just enough.

Got my spark plugs changed and reaffirmed my lack of faith for mechanic shops in general. I know there are good ones out there but if I can, I will. Dirt and grime packed into the crush washer on 3 plugs, God knows what fell into the cylinders. This one had D&G packed in between crush washer...

Same here, it's like watching the clock till the bell rings lol
