No longer a daily driver but I still drive it to work once a week or so and drive it to the trails. Also will be my winter DD since the Miata can't even move from its spot in the driveway if it snows more than 4 inches, and I nearly died the one night I had to drive it home after a flash freeze.

After welding the rear diff when I was testing it on some dirt pile behind my house, climbed in 2wd steep enough to wrap my tailpipe around the rear axle when I backed up.
I chopped it off behind the hanger behind the muffler and it droned horribly and dumped exhaust in the cab which I didn't want since I am going wheeling tomorrow. So I hacked together (somewhat literally) a tailpipe from some scrap EMT conduit. Its ghetto but it works.

Last weekend I finally conquered this climb at the Moody Hill Quarry after wanting to do it for two years. Did it twice today and a few others. I really want a front locker now but at its current stage my rig works awesome for me!

Today I hit the junkyard and got a new case half for my AC compressor and put my on board air system back together. Gonna get some oil for it tomorrow and test it out, hopefully it still works.

Having a wheeling buddy who is a semi pro photographer is kinda awesome.
Another awesome day at the Quarry yesterday.

Got the D44 cleaned up today, hopefully getting a set of 4.88s and a master install kit this week. Then I just need to get a locker, get everything installed, build a truss, and get new rotors and other brake parts

Tomorrow morning I am picking up a waggy 44 front with 4.88s, a lock right, and high steer. Just need to add brackets for links rather than leafs.
