Keep that driveshaft away from the filter.....
That looks like a good story.
It's a long story too.
Very long.
And the reason I carry a spare oil filter now.

Funny thing about that story is, I was relatively new to the BB crowd and was not aware of what was going on. I had a spare short filter in my tool box that you could have used. Still have it as a spare. I run a Wix 59077 now. They were on a BBC Tahoe.

That is the filter I use.
So was going to do a Blazer Bash update....... Got nothing to update next thing to do is load it on the trailer....
Well, it’s still an update. I’m running out of stuff to do as well, so anything is exciting.
That’s the best feeling, but also sketchy because then I stress over ‘what might break just because I didn’t do a nut and bolt check’
Found sonmething that needs fixing. Not going to happen until after the bash. Not really worried about it to much either.
It will self clearance.
I remember the oil filter thing but I don’t remember why drivers side drop?
Front axle is cooler, and stronger
Got back from Blazer Bash Twinkie did well. Need to do some front spring maintenance to her. I have another set that I could just swap in, may do that. The spring looks twisted the pack is just shifted on its self. So a easy fix, although I am not in the mood to fix it right now. So I will put it back in the shop and wait a few weeks. Got to get the Nova running and moving.
got a little rock rash and a scrap but nothing really bad.

Shackle is bent too. So need to address that also.
It's got to be nice to have a rig that just works.
Been building it for 13 years to get it to this point. It is time for some serious maintenance though, or full out replace the suspension stuff.
So a five month later update
Yeah this is it put a sticker on the roof / ceiling.
Actually started her up took her out of her parking spot and took her around the block. Tires are fun driving with flat spots.
