When and did a small easy shakedown run to see what needs to be done...wheel well up front needs chopping at firewall, 37s hit so 40s will kill it...
Definently need to remember to bring air chuck, I didn't air down ran 30psi....all terrains suck for that btw....
List front locker due to damaged air line...repaired it now but some of the stuff with 30psi and no front locker was a pia...
Here's a view of the pacific ocean...you could see Catalina if looking slightly north....

This is a rock line I'm putting together...need one big rock for driver side middle and it will be flop alley....



Then another line we goof off on...nothing hard or major bit a good place to find things that need work before hitting the big boy trails...

The u-joints are ridiculous lol....total beasts....the 30 spline outers and Rcv hub gear finished it off...
D60 front and 14 bolt rear linked is where its headed....chop 10" off frame shorten it down wheelbase and then coilobers (typo lol...coilovers) and bypass on all 4 corners...
