Well, trucks pretty much back together. Oil and filters changed. Fluids checked and topped off. Air-shift transfer case works smoothly and shifts well, even on the fly. Got the spare rehung(tight with 11-20's). Changed duct work from heating unit as I noticed a couple of holes.
Over all...
Got the tunnel, seats, and door put on. Redid the mirror mounting rod and smoothed and greased hinge pins for door. Drained oil and prepped for filter cannister removal tomorrow when Wix filters arrive. So far, so good.........slow and.steady.......enjoying time with the truck and dogs. One...

Hey Gents,
Had a strange thing happen today. Was backing up to the M1061 trailer, was just about under lunette, applied parking brake. I was in reverse, low transfer. With parking brake set, my foot slipped and it killed the motor. Didn't think to much about it, restarted and finished...
What? Everyone doesn't have that for their MV storage? Not saying it couldn't be in private hands, but like others have said, I'd make DARN SURE that the paper trail ended in the right place, confirmed. If she's private, good luck and keep us informed. If she isn't? yeah...
