Late start today then I had to run around looking for Deutsch connectors for the lights. Front bumper is painted and mounted. Wired up the d2's, a-series, and resistors. Signals blink at regular speed, so that's nice. Tomorrow will hopefully have the 240's, winch, and front plastic completed

Was heading out for the weekend. Heard loud clunking noises. Stopped and road and noticed the driveshaft was rubbing against the fuel tank skidplate. Took skid off and drove home. Cut off the rubbing part and trying to fit it back on. The loaded weight brought the driveshaft too close to the skid. Pack light gentlemen. This is cold reminder

Definitely check your U-joints, pinion yoke play and slip joint slop, be it a transmission slip joint or drive-shaft slip joint. That kind of noise should not be loud against a skid plate unless something else is swinging pretty wide.
