8 Low

I found your trucks ugly sister. Sorry for bad pic. He was driving away before I had a chance. View attachment 256611
I almost bought one of those locally. Chopped burb into crew sort of thing. I just wanted to axles and drivetrain but the guy was REALLY proud of it. I couldn't get past the plywood back wall with the house window in it sealed up with silicone. Apparently the heater worked awesome in it however.
 
Countdown to Easter Jeep Safari!
Tweaked my back this morning loading up wheels & tires to take them in to attempt to balence them. The list of things to try & get done keeps getting longer, not shorter. Not only that I'm prepping my house to go on the market the first of April. I'm going to be busy this next month. It's 836 miles from my house to Moab. 8low is happy at 55mph. She is going to get pushed a little on this trip. All in all I am fairly confident that I will make it. Going to do the Patroit run the 25th at area BFE on the GreenDay trail then the 26th fall in with the FullSize invasion guys on SteelBender.
 
Sweet! I only live a little over 2 hrs away. I'll be camping in the desert up here easter weekend though.
 
Boring Adventure prep. New plugs, a pump or 2 of grease in all of my leaf spring bushings, hub seal & hub swap on passenger side rear. Seal tension spring popped off while driving seal so I replaced seal again. Dropped bearing in floor dry bucket. Gapped new plugs to .40. Hope that's alright. Found bad radiator hose clamp on top hose. Bad air cleaner gasket, bad vaccume line. Going over this damn thing with a fine tooth comb. Going to try & put in an hour a day on it at least till Moab.

Do you pack the back of your seals with grease so the springs don't pop out? An old timer at the truck dealer I first worked at taught me that one after I did the same thing.
