We’re headed up clackamas next weekend. Three of us. Then end of next month Bud Nixon is doing an occupy Olallie. Should be about 40-50 trucks up there.
I also changed out all my door weather stripping save for the wing windows ill get those rebuilt this spring. Also my winch remote has a built in flash light!
Driver side battery tray showed up so I can mount a spare battery and my Overflow tank, I never understood why the over flow tank moved from 84 to up on the inner fender on a 85. How do the hoses connect to the tank.
New winters shifter from folkenheath showed up today.
My JB Fab t case shifter showed up today at my buddy's house he is going to build me a consol for the Winters shifter and the JB shifter
New brake booster is in, drive shaft will ship out Friday to get lengthened for new pinion angle. Some more shots of the possible shifter consol my buddy is building me. It's being 3d printed then it will be fabricated. 
3D printing complete for the test console. 
Prototype console arrived. 
My rear drive shaft was short when I changed my pinion angle so I had it rebuilt to the correct length I needed. I think either od green or desert tan for the color.
New drive shaft installed and painted. Ignore the flex pipe exhaust. Didn't have enough color for army green or tan so satin black won.

Took it for a test drive today and the new rebuilt hydroboost felt awesome no stuck brakes. The new rear drive shaft had no vibrations everything ran like clock work. The tires are out of round lol, I have a few small oil leaks I need to tend to though. 
The shift console showed up at my buddy's, he is going to ship it to me and then I'll paint and install.
The final console version showed up today. Fitment and test install then paint and final install.
Getting around to painting the console, primed some parts of it and waiting for them to dry then I finish the other parts. I want to paint my JB Fab shifter but I'm worried about taking it apart and not getting it back together correctly. 
Finally got around to installing the riddler diff cover for my 60, I like the way it looks.
Finished the rear axle today and man did the 14ff oil stink. I used a Motobilt diff cover. Painted tan to match the front. 
I had these rigid lights sitting around for a while and I got the correct harness in June for it and I installed them today. I really like the back lights on these. They back lights are on in the first picture.
