I figured plasti dip to just test the waters. I have my lower molding and wheel well edges bedlined so I would go with that too if I went to a more permanent paint.
Also, 10 minute job forgot I bought a catch can. Just some cheap insurance for the old blow by I get in my intake. I've sprayed and cleaned out the entire intake vacuum system and sprayed the spectre air filter so hoping clean breathing now.
Took it on a 70 mile road trip today to a state park and back home. With everything done the leak is very small in comparison, might mostly be the old old with the heavy rain just dripping off and onto the ground. But it ran great, ran some errands and no issues at all. Very happy with it.
I like the two tone. What state park? I've always wanted to go to one as a road trip i've never been to one. I also didn't know you were on Reddit!
Assawoman Wildlife Park, sadly the gate was closed due to weather. Never been there, looked really nice. Yea i've been on reddit for over 5 years now lol. You in DE?

Have you done Cruiser's valve cover mod? Taking off the valve cover and cutting down the flutes? Works wonders for that oil problem.

No, I know it and just haven't done it.
Drove to work and just like it did on the trails randomly twice, it died on the way to work. Acts like it's not getting fuel, then after a couple minutes starts up and drives fine, drove home after the day no issues. Going to get a fuel pressure gauge and see what I can find. I can test the pump, filter, and regulator from the gauge. If everything comes up fine it'll at least write those 3 out of the equation, might be another gremlin.
After more thinking i'm leaning towards one of the resister wires being well 30 years old and will need to be replaced. I should just change them all, but i'll have to see how fuseable links work vs inline fuses.
So some serious beef came to my door yesterday. I'm sticking with short arms, i've made up my mind, no reason with just sticking to 3.5"s to me. With 33s and moving up to 35s next the axle is too far back even with the shoe all the way forward, so adjustables to go with the RE superflex adjustable uppers are needed. So after looking around and not being happy with designs or prices of others I decided to get the Core 4x4 Tier 3 arms. Forged Currie Johnny Joint one end, fixed tapered poly joint on the other to allow 20* of movement when flexing, and a stout 5/16" wall tubing. These things are super heavy and glorious. I'm really looking forward to putting these in. My current 8 year old RE Fixed superflex arms are ready to be replaced.
Got the arms installed today. I set the lowers to be an inch longer than the RE arms 16 7/8". I set the arms, set the pinion, played the caster/pinion angle game and bolted it up. Only to find that my bumpstop tower was hitting the coil. I played with the adjustments until it was good and now i'm having the issue of the coil hitting the track bar bracket. So going to fix that issue. But rides fine, no different than before, pushed the axle where I wanted it. Old RE arms were showing their age, 7 years.
