Nice work with the rope. How did you secure the rack to the factory rack/rails?

say.... Is that a low pinion D30? hard to tell with the picture.

I'm just gonna swap the pan out. Would've had to drop the pan to get the plug out anyways.

I was assuming the plug. I dunno though. Either way the thing is coming out now. Just gotta deal with dipstick tubes.

Today I changed the cluster bulbs, r/f u-joint, r/f brake caliper, r/r brake line, and adjusted the rear brakes. I was pleasantly suprised that the bleeders came out of the rear drums so easily. Tomorrow, valve cover and tranny pan sealant...

I think the cord wrap will look pretty cool once I get more on it.

I drilled through the rack and factory rails in 4 corners. It's got bolts with nylock nuts underneath. I'm wanting to ditch the rails but its low on priority list. It works though.

That is a LP D30.

Oh and I shattered the bulb in the drivers side Hella light. Dropped the bumper because I didnt have anyone to hold it while I ran the bolts in.

I know what that's like. it's definitely a lot easier to do those when you have 2 people. hard enough to get it all lined up even then
