got my e-codes in, relay harness half installed (run behind the grille, but haven't decided on a fuse box to finish the power end) and ordered an Optima yellow top so I can install a new battery when I put my Kelley's WIP cables in and tighten up the power end of my relay harness. Also dropped the crusty battery hold down into the magic derusting tank; going to paint it and then coat it with Plasti-dip because I'm too chea^H^H^H^Hfrugal to buy a new one. Was going to pull the battery tray and clean everything up in the area, but ran out of daylight and motivation. I know, not very exciting stuff but it needs to be done... baby steps...
Still need to change the gear oil in both axles, xfer case fluid, trans fluid, PS fluid, and finish front end lube (need to get it up on ramps so I can see under the front skid plate.) I have all the stuff but it'll take a while because I figure I should derust and paint the diff covers too or they'll piss me off.
Amazing how much work a perfectly good running and driving vehicle can take to make roadworthy! It's parked in the driveway until this all is done though... that's my motivation to get it done otherwise I know I'll just start driving it and not do everything it needs.
