Drove it to the jy today for a scavenger hunt. Had a good day and scored some choice goods. Then................. it all went to crap when I got home. I noticed some strange spots on the rear hatch and realized it was some form of oil. Crawled under to find out the pinion seal has let go and coated the undercarriage with gear oil. On the up side, that gives the perfect excuse to get off my lazy butt and go buy some spring perches for the Dana 44 in the garage. Get those welded on along with some new shock mounts and she'll be ready to go again.

Got home this afternoon fom running around with bigomudders, walked in the house and almost cried. There sat my brand new CSF 3 row radiator. I only ordered it 2 days ago and here it is, delivered on Saturday with no shipping charges. Can you guess what I'll be doing tommorow?
Nope, your wrong. I'll be welding new spring perches on the D44 and swapping it in. But the radiator will go in next weekend.

Did a few things today. I got woody all stripped out, and got her new seat mounted.
I even put the racing seat on the stock electric seat frame. Tomorrow I will be installing the lift, and putting the belts in.

Well yesterday, drove home for Erie for the summer, got home, saw a "mystery liquid", found out the mystery liquid was coolant and some stop leak from the PO. So i got it in the garage started taking it apart, then drove two hours with my dad to carlisle for the all truck there, spent about half the day there, and then drove back and stated taking the stock trim off around the bumpers so i can rhino them while i wait for the radiator to come in and so i can put the nutstrip in through the back for the hitch that will be going on.
Lots of time at the garage now.

Yesterday I picked a Hi Lift jack from Tractor Supply, actually it is a Reese brand but they have them on sale for $40 so who's complaining. This morning I replaced the pinion seal in my 91. This evening I was putting a new can of R134 in the wifes 01 because of a leak and in the middle of the can the rear seal blows out of the compressor spraying freon everywhere. Can someone say expensive repair.
