Yessir Deano. Now I still have a vibe at around 50-60 mph. Have never had vibes before... I know it could be multiple things, but if u have any suggestions, maybe something will jump out me...

Been a while... Since, new flywheel, rear main seal, oil pan gasket, and new paws! Kelly Safari TSR's. Like them so far. No real mud or snow yet. We shall see...

Can testify to the tsr 's now. They meaty and grippy. Snow and mud no match. Got mad grips yo. Now...
Looking for a motor. The bomb is about to blow. Trying to hobble by with Lucas oil, adding it from time to time. Oil pressure drops to around 25 - 30 hwy. Needs oil change tho. That may help. Found a place near Athens that has motors regularly. Soooo... Spring project?
Should I try this myself? Time is of the essence for me... I am fairly confident I can do it (done nearly everything else on this thing). Don't have an engine picket or tranny jack. Sure I could borrow tho. Again, would like it done in timely manner. I know a fella (trusted mechanic) said he would put it in for $450. My time is worth alot too...
What say ye?

I am back. Haven't wheeled any recently due to using rig as a tool and less of a toy. Pretty dependent on it now. It's the only vehicle that dig us out of anything in the holler so I gotta be mindful of that.
The motor is on its way out I believe too. Knocking, maybe main bearing. I am going to get a video posted on da u tube for all to hear that wants/would listen. I know a spot to get motors between $300-$400. Hope to get another year out of her before that though.
Been looking for a trailer to haul wood around on property. Had to be high enough to cross creeks and a pretty good drain ditch. Preacher hooked me up:
Now I can retrieve wood from anywhere!
Items next in line:
New gutter mounts for roof rack
Motor???
Those pesky fenders....
Thank guys. Glad to be back!
