New additions and some updates
NEW ADDITIONS:
Wet Okole seat covers. Black with light gray (#21) in the middle. I got the pockets sewn on the back for an extra $20. I didnt like these at first because they made my tush sweat, but that was only a one time thing and now i really love these.
48" Hi-lift (actually a "Farm Jack", $35 from Northern Tool).
Magellan SporTrak Map, handheld GPS.
MAINTENANCE:
re-mounted the winch solenoid, muuuuuuuch better than the old location.
cleaned/re-packed and put hose clamps on the driver's side CV.
(before)
(during)
(after)
WHEW, i think thats it. more/pics and info on my webpage if you care.

Cv
Man, that CV leakage was pretty bad. How long has it been like that? Mine have burped a bit, actually they haven't burped any for a few days now since I cleaned them off, but nothing like that!!!!
Wet Okoles look good and why did you move the winch solenoid? Mine just sits on top in the middle of my bumper in between the lights...

other than being messy, the job wasnt a big deal.

the inner boot wasnt leaking bad at all. in fact, it started leaking when i had the lift at about 2.75", but it didnt leak much after i dropped it down to 2". the new clamp is a "preventative" measure.

i had it under the bumper, but in a different location and it was not very secure. There was no where for me to "hard mount" the solenoid on top without drilling and i want to avoid that if at all possible.
can you get me an up-close pic of how yours is mounted?
