She did actually. She spent a couple hours with a wire brush and a 5 gal bucket full of soapy water.

Fyi it was painted a shade of blue under all the poo.
 
I regeared a 14 bolt this week. Shannon got yellow truck in and started to take the front apart. I did lots of pointing, and helping here and there.



Then of course shannon did shannon things.



Then got back to work




Uck. Bearings were all toast. Thing was filled with what seemed to consist of greasy burnt mud.





Friend of mine gave me this today. He told me to help him make his suburban ride a bit better in the dunes sometime when he has a chance to bring it over. So basically i get to whore myself out for free locker for lady. But I told her she will have to help.








And for some reason I had a SPARE 10 bolt install kit on a shelf in my bedroom.... So thats nice. You can buy a 10b install kits with USA KOYO bearings for $57 on amazon. Just saying, for all you 10b haters.

Got the front end back together.

And I got the frame fixed up. The bumper is now mounted to frame, and not just the outriggers mounted to the frame holding it up. Thanks to Martin for the frame pieces.

It is also no longer crooked. Which is nice.



















 
Hell yeah!
So did you let Shannon do some of the welding?

And I'm sorry that I can't remember, what did you do with the gear ratio?

Didn't have time. I literally had like a day to work on it before duneparty to get the frame done, and her work schedule is always the opposite of mine...

It has 4.10s in there, so I left it alone. I think that's a decent combo with the 36s and no OD.
 
Hey I know that green truck. The owner is a jerkface!
