I never stop working. Right now I’m working on breakfast and coffee. Next will be working on waking the girls. Then off to the tire shop for new tires on the borrowed trailer, then when I get back, change the dually trans fluid. That’s just the first half of the day! Btw, how’s your steering hanging in there? Good now?

Worked on Moody Hill and back. Only packed one steering box extra to go with my 2 extra pumps and 6 internals...

Spoken like a long bed guy that can carry 3 spares of everything you need.

Everything but Scott’s spare tire!

It's funny I get jealous of what a long bed can haul compared to a Blazer. Then I go wheeling with my Jeep buddies and feel all better again.

My driver is bad. My body man is worse. It’s a thing

 

[Desert_K5]

I'm a sucker for my pups. I need to make arrangements for an Airbnb that has a yard next year's BB. Oh yeah the wife wants to wheel with us next year too.

Trailer checked off the list tonight! Drive over fenders with 6k axles. Now on to the rear locker.

 

[Desert_K5]

I've got wood. Driveshafts that is.... Trailer at the dealer and home where it belongs, yeah buddy!

@Fastereddie here's the guy that I went to his class. Kinda wild.

Is there anyone here that's installed a Lock Rite in a 14 bolt ff? I'm unsure if this is everything that's supposed to be there?? The box has been on the shelf since before 2018 BB, never got around to install. This is the last thing on my list to button up and could use a little backup. My bud Ed has been helping me way more than he should and I don't want to ask him to come over again if I can avoid it.

Here's what was in the box. It looks like the pieces interface with existing parts, it just doesn't seem complete to me.

I've googled till my eyes bleed and find pics of it with and without pieces etc but no idea why.

 

[Desert_K5]

Welp, she’s out now.

 

[Desert_K5]

4:10 gear ratio is what I’m running now. Good to know.

 

[Desert_K5]

And locker is in. Need to get it set back in the housing.

 

[Desert_K5]

While I’m under here trying to figure out how to lift this heavy bastard into the housing..... I see this work from who knows when...add it to the list. ahhhh

 

[Desert_K5]

Booyah!

Lockers like that are surprisingly simple. Not many parts/pieces.

That weld job on the exhaust hanger looks like a bird crapped all over it.

You were up early working

 

[Bent77]

Probably never went to bed

 

[Desert_K5]

The locker was actually super easy. I was overthinking it (usual for me). The hanger is nasty and if I can I’m replacing them.
I wish I had just went with a spool but this ones been sitting here.

Spent most of Saturday getting caught up on rest so I’m banging away on my list.
