for the most part sitting there, little things here and there. i don't expect him to work on it. i was surprised he has and am thankful.

the rear driver's side boot is blown. and the driver's side front is leaking but not torn. i have a lifetime warranty for the front. now i need to get a lifetime warranty for the rear...

tie rod's in. now i need to play with them to make it so it doesn't jerk slightly right when i let go of the gas. maybe the right one needs replacing too...

did a little investigation on the rearend... it feels like i might of just broke a stubby off in the diff... and if it's in there good enough, it is not going to be fun to remove... i jacked the rear and can jiggle and pull the axle cup away from the diff slightly. the other side that still turns the drive shaft doesn't pull out... maybe my welds held

hooked up the rear driveline again and it started making the noise in the tcase. so out goes the tcase for sure. and try to find my tool to unbolt a stubby and swap one out with my spare diff. tomorrow! then to the steel yards to find a chunk of 1/4" plate to make a skid for the tcase. 8 ball mine's trails this saturday if i'm lucky!

almost forgot, this week i need to make vent lines for the diffs and bring the front into the engine compartment and the rear into the cab.
