Anxious to see poke shots. Do they have the bead thing…can’t remember if they were on the list.

I'll take pictures of the lip when they come in.

Got my emergency valve stems. Keeping these under the rear seat.

Got the ASFIR skid plate installed. The side that you can't see. I sprayed truck bed liner on it. The side you can see. I sprayed clear coat on it.

Got the front upper Core 4x4 control arms installed.

 

[Rusty PW]

Got the rear Core 4x4 upper rear controls on. The rear lower are a major PITA because the axle bolt is frozen in the bushing on both sides. Have to order new bolts before I try again to remove them.

Marked all the jam nuts on the control arms. If they back off, I will be able to see with a quick look.

Clearanced the Steersmart brace where my coil spring was rubbing it on full stuff. Used a burr bit on a 1/4" die grinder, followed by a belt sander to smooth it out.

Is this mounted upside down? Seems like a design flaw just waiting to get rubbed of. As soft as the zirk metal is it won’t take much of a rub.

That's for next weekend to do's list. I have to turn the joint around. Wasn't thinking when I installed the lower arms last year.

I'll rephrase. Did you purchase or plan to purchase their engine skid ?

I needed something right now for the fuel filter. I might get their engine skid plate. Would like Next Venture skid plates. But don't have $4,200 for it right now. Need other things first.
