. She is looking better and better... Really nice!

. Does the BL-XX on the door denote Bureau of Land Management? Glad to hear that you got her fired up! Lots of TLC and it will be good to go for many more years...

. So nice when you figure it out before expending the effort to install a broken (defective) part.

. Charging those lead acid batteries inside the cab of your truck might not be good for your health... Don't know if maybe you could build some sort of cover? Something to separate the crew compartment from the battery compartment? Open fire in the cab of the truck could "make you go boom"...

. Looking Good! Sounded nice as it came to life after a long winter's nap. .

. Wait a minute... I think OSHA would believe you need to add a hand rail. Especially if that wine tasting got you more than two steps up the ladder :cool:

. Gotta sometimes work a little red neck magic... :cool:

. Yes sir. I cannot quite understand how that is acceptable behavior - and how the law isn't being enforced. Guess that is enough about it, but like other comments: That isn't how most of us were raised...

. Well... I like it. Good in my opinion!

. Lookin Good!!

. Maybe, Maybe Not. There are folks who believe that you MUST have some sort of "incredible travel" in your axle movement if you have that much wheel clearance... The other choice is a weekend to add or remove blocks and steering (drag link) components... Heck, ride it around for a week or...

. Looking good! Now what we need to see is a mud test... Does the mud rinse right off?

. Prospect62 , I am with you 100%. I have similar working conditions for me and my trucks. Most of it is done on the dirt or grass - and my Soldier B seems to be named Helen Wait. :) Pretty amazing though. Over time you get pretty good at finding ways to prop something up or hold a piece until...

. Hate it was such a "bear" to do, but compared to removing the fan, radiator and all the supporting hardware + disconnecting everything on the motor and transmission to pull that out as one unit it was easier than it might have been. Definitely a Royal PITA, but maybe you have done it once and...

. It is really amazing to go to a muffler shop if they aren't overly busy. Having the right tools makes all the difference! The benders, expanders, and the guy who welds pipe all day can be really impressive to watch. I have heard that sound before. I had to go back and re-read your #9233...

. Bet it sounds tough though. Those mufflers don't quite look like factory, but I couldn't swear to that. Definitely looks like freshly welded and installed...

. Gee, I dunno. Maybe I am getting old... Or maybe looking at older trucks just "does it for me". Your truck might not win the car show - but I like it. Truck has Character!

. Be sure that your DA 2404 is completed as a six part form. Sign it, throw away 5 parts and put the other in the drivers seat. :cool:

. Motor mounts are not as awful as they seem. A floor jack with a 2x6 on its end up to the flat spot where the pan bolts up to the motor lifts the engine. JUST A LITTLE so you don't chance breaking parts on top of the motor against the firewall. Make your lift point more to the front of the...

. That is a heck of a truck maddawg308 ! I never had the opportunity to meet Scrounger but everyone speaks (spoke?) highly of him.
