Got the 241/205 doubler bolted up into the truck, still need to cut the floor for clearance, and fab up a crossmember or two.

Got it checked over for state inspection today, got the windows washed, in fact the whole thing washed. Also got the passenger door adjusted so the door lines up a little better.

Killed my steering box and frame because I was not happy having a perfectly running and driving truck. Now I get to wrench next weekend.
got my sbc running again, which is huge motivation to get it back under its own power since its been down for a few months. just getting it timed up and can definitly feel/ hear a difference out of the new parts i put in. time to keep spending i guess!

Almost finished organizing the garage, pulled my 14 bolt out to move the perches AGAIN (I swear I'm linking it if I change my mind on the rear suspension again). Discovered the crush sleeve will laugh at my 900 ft-lb impact, and my vice table is not strong enough.
Spent a long time sitting over a bare 14 bolt trying to decide if I should shave the ring gear and plate it. Still haven't come to a conclusion on that. I can't figure out if I like how it will seal if I go down that road.
Girlfriend drug me to a bar Saturday night. We (as a couple) got hit on by a guy, wtf! Funny, the bouncer hassled me because I didn't have "nice" shoes on. I told him I wore the only shoes I don't weld in

Fri- went south to Denver and ordered some bilstiens for the duramax. Bought a backup camera that works with my CTS since boulder did not design parking spots for crew cab lifted diesels.
Went to the stampede that night and hung out with the girl.
Sat- went to the CU game. Nice to see a win for once. That night watched more football.
Sunday lounged until 4 then got my suit on and went to the band banquet at the school with the GF ( yep she a band nerd) pretty nice setup they held it in the club level at the field.
Mon- finally found someone to modify my P/s line for the blazer. Picked up done BWW installed the shocks on the D-max and stared at the blazer wondering if im ever gonna get it running.
Then went and watched football.
Tomorrow? Job search continues.....

Finished up my Cobra 29 install, and almost got my rear tail-gate glass to drop all the way flush. Just gotta get back in there and give one of the two stops a little more persuasion.
Nice to chill out and work on some little details (albeit in between hellacious wind gusts).
Then went and cut wood with some buddies in the mountains, followed by home-made pulled pork, brews, and some football.
Goatherder's ORD disconnects showed on Monday, so that'll be next!

Installed raised steering arm. Thought about replacing ball joints, but should be getting new knuckles soon for crossover, so scratched that. Installed zero rates and a leaf in my front spring pack. New U-bolts. New brake lines. Went and got a 2wd sector shaft. Started building some front end shock towers. Took mt front D shaft in to get lengthened and rebuilt. Hung the doors on my 56 chevy pick up. AND moved a whole **** ton of snow.
