snow run 3/20

alirght, i was way tired and it was almost 3am last night.
after ed stopped by this morning i started it again. had it all done in an hour. even adjusting the steering and trackbar, put a fresh ube of grease in, and kicked the shit outta the axle and test drove it aorund the block to check for creaks, crappy steering, etc. i gotta take it on the freeway tonight and make sure no weird crap.
i ended up throwing some 4x4s on top of the frame side jacks and that made all the difference. was super fast. and i must been just delirious last night not to think about that. also pissy since the 4.5" coils were 3.25" and had to throw the spacers back in!
and taking off the coils 3-4 times in one night and putting the tires and shocks etc back on each time cuz i thought i was done each time....and all the control arms and adjusting them to 15.75 and then back to 17 when they wouldnt barely turn even after heat and pb blaster. it was a long night i guess and it made me not think straight
anyway, looks good, and ill be ready, just going into work right now a little late
plus i replaced my control arm bushings and installed passenger side alloy outer seal while i was at it

and shoot, for that matter, anyone need help getting their junk ready?

Awesome man! I totally know how it gets when you're burnt out on working on junk! I'm glad you got it back together and everything. Where'd you get those coils from?

I've almost got my rear axle setup... carrier bearing preload is a little light, but I'm out of shims so I might just run it. I should be able to get my junk back together on my own.

Later,

tommorow is going to be so nice!! i think im doin something special for the trip!!!
 
yeah should be a good time. Have we decided where were going icehouse like last time or what? And thanks again jon got those 3" blocks out, now I got full packs!!
 
ice house sounds good, especially if theres only a couple miles of snow of sly park, but it i still like the idea of the closeness of sly.

its close to 20miles from the dam to 88 and we might make it 1/2 way to 88... there are also roads off the side of iron mountain rd we can try and go down or up depending on how the snow is packing...

I think the snow started to cover the road about 16 miles from 88.

Honestly, I don't care where we go! I'm just stoked that I got my junk back together in time!
