Ordered up two relay light harness, hoping someone wants to do a night run for Moab. Also on my lunch the other day went and bought 40 dollars worth of flap disks and cut off wheels from harbor freight.

The HF flap disks are horrible. The cut off wheels aren't too bad. I've had decent luck with the dewalts from tractor supply. 36 grit is the only thing worth while for removing metal. 60 works okay for cleaning paint/ metal, but rolocks work the best for those.
I've had good luck with cheap packs purchased from Amazon

I like to get 25 so you get the little plastic container.

I was going to give you shit about the HF abrasives, they all suck IMO. The death wheel is scary enough, I don't need to add HF disks into the mix 
I used the CK5 vendor we had on here, bought boxes of flaps and pearl cut off wheels for a pretty good price.

I agree. HF abrasives suck ass. They seem cheaper until you actually use them. Do you remember the vendor you got your stuff from?
I went back and looked, it was Roark https://ck5.com/forums/threads/4-5-zirconia-flap-discs-–-made-in-germany-–-1-79.324939/#post-3615230

They seem to work ok for me, never used a good quality one though. I suck at fab so a work out one makes it easy for me to not make mistakes.

It's like a good beer, you don't know what you've been missing until you had one.
Ugh, supposed to be tearing this thing down and I have been stuck doing work around the house. I had my 0-12 gauge hydraulic cable/wire crimper delivered today along with the trans cooler tstat @skunked
I have to work all day tomorrow from 7am to 5pm... atleast I have good tickets to the baseball game. Sunday I'll be dropping a couch off for donations using the 82.... once I get home hopefully the prep starts. I have A LOT of stuff to do on this and I have envifisized it with the old lady it needs to get done and a shake down wheeling trip before Moab.

At the rate I'm going hopefully it gets done.
New oil pan?
Where the oil cooler mounts to the pan someone stripped it before and I had to helicoil it, cant get it to seal worth a crap. My buddy is going to give me a pan and I have a gasket it will just take some time.
I hope you can get it done without any trouble. You had enough trouble with the transmissions.
