Went out and bought another engine, then I pulled my old one out to build a stroker cause the bearings are starting to go.

Oil change, Front diff fluid change, Sanded, primed & painted sliders...

And...

Replaced the lower cover panel on the front of the trany that was missing... After realizing that the PO had put one of the bolts in backwards! SOB!

Yesterday I replaced the alternator ... on the side of the road. Brought the old one that seized to the store and as I put it on the counter, ball bearings fell out the bottom. The guy just laughed, I was like, "um sorry bout that."
Today, replaced the battery cable terminals, now they are nice, shiny and tight.

Got New shocks last week and bolts snapped off and broke both rear shocks so took it back to shop and got better ones and more expensive ones for FREE. Rode on broke shocks for about 2 days before I started to hear a big banging noise in the back.

Tried to get my rear pan hard bar back in the axle mount. (Bolt fell out on a trail) The bolt on the other mount that bolts to the body is seized. I ended up using a come-along to pull the body towards the passenger side and got the pan hard bar back into the mount. I will have to us the come-along to pull the body the other way to get the bolt to line up tomorrow to tired to finish it tonight.
