mac 'got to keep working to pay for it all' gyvr

Have new oil pan
Have new shafts, seals, bearings, backing plates.
Ordered a new tire/carrier/bumer/hitch combo.
Ordered new resistor for blower to make it work on more than just "high"

mac 'now to find time to do it all' gyvr

Had a good couple of weeks getting work done.

Oil pan done.
New shafts, seals and diff service done.
New blower motor resistor.
New control arms for the front with the oil pan install.
New steering came today, partially assembled, hopefully installing this weekend.

Pretty much needs to be driven a bit and see what else it might need.

Flat skid and rear control arms probably won't happen until before the crawl.

Tow rig got propane filled.
Hopefully doing hitch on Tuesday if I can get it out of the back yard.
Would like to do some tow hooks on the front if I can with the weather.
Still needs a once over, but at 5 years old and 25k, I pray it doesn't need much.

Trailer still needs worked on, but its covered in a foot of snow at the moment.

mac 'progress' gyvr
