Down south there are days you can't weld outside even when it is raining. I would get so sweaty it would soak the gloves. It will wake you up real quick.

I'm just glad the fires aren't causing you issues. Looks like half of Canada is on fire!

Thanks for the good words guys, no issues with fires here yet.

Some days you move forward on a project and some days you get kicked in the nuts.

This am leaving for work I noticed this small puddle, initially thinking break fluid only to be disappointed and find its gear oil. Looks like I messed up the inner axle seal, I'll be pulling this thing completely back apart now.

I went to install the PPE trans mount this evening, only to be greeted by this beauty as well... Looks like the T-case is coming back out too...

No use in crying over spilt milk, or tranny fluid, or gear oil... Rear end is back in for shock and sway bar mount mock up.

Check out this tentative departure angle, a little over 50 degrees.

and some glory shots to make myself feel better after all the setbacks today brought my way

The stretched wheel base looks just about perfect.

It is looking great. Quick question, when you hang the leaf springs do you hang them, talking about the mounting points, with a leaf springs fully relaxed or under load? Just curious how you determine how far apart the shackles will be.

I always wanted to ask if you were going to be able to get it out of your garage, but didn't want to be that guy........and as usual....you had already planned for it!
