What did you do to your rig today?

Recommended Posts

It lives. :) 

The last month has been a lot of small steps moving all the old parts to the long block and figuring out which seals needed to be replaced- but 2 days ago I started the new motor for the first time. Immediately I got a wheel sensor code and thought maybe it was a harness issue- today I got lucky messing with the wire leading to the sensor and found a break at the firewall. Fixed that (kinda) and all is good... So that's what I did to my rig today. 😀

I finally replaced the rear door lock gizmo.  I wish all projects were this easy.

I got rid of another leak (leaks). A New power steering pump (leak 1), hoses and steering box (leak 2).   I added a cooler and inline power steering fluid filter and replaced the intermediate shaft as well as the steering column 'lower bearing and assembly'.  I didn't even know there was a 'lower bearing assembly' for my steering column but I sure could tell there was something wrong!   It was a slog doing it on the garage floor and took me about a week of diddle farting but I got it done, drove it today and no leaks!

Yesterday we did a thing... Bought a trailer for overland trips so didn't need the rtt. Now I'm considering ditching the roof rack for a topper so the doggos have a space of their own.

Thanks! It's really nicely outfitted. These are pics from the sale ad. When I get it home I'll be able to take more.

After the Mogollon trip, I bought 3new gizmos.

New cv half-shaft installed.

New deflators as one wouldn't work and one fell apart.

I also ordered a new sleeping pad.
