Finally found the correct fittings for my turbo oil feed. I stupidly ordered a conversion fitting that was for a stock 6.5 line but thought it was just a -6an fitting, NOPE. exhaust should be here tomorrow so I can finish this thing up.

Sprayed some rust spots with fluid film. I need to get on some rust repair sooner rather than later along with weatherstrip install.

I had a similar issue with gates thermostats. Couldn’t get my 09 over 160* all winter no matter what I did. Replaced thermostat again and same issue. Everything has been flushed but seems like my thermostat is staying open or opening earlier than it should. I need to get around to swapping it again.

I picked up some new seats for the rear. Can’t beat free99. Just need to make some brackets for them.

Swapped out my old bosch plugs for some Ac delco 60g's and she starts up like new! Also wasn't too bad swapping them on the turbo side.

I haven’t had my sway bar connected for the last two years. I’ve never had death wobble and honestly don’t even notice any more lean in a turn. sounds like you got a lot done though.

Yes winter seems to of brought out all of the gremlins, more so to this thread.

I see a lot of people did a lot of transmission arguing to their cucv’s this Week......seems incredibly on topic.

5 years does not seem that long to me. Must just be humidity. My Buick sat for over 12 and just very recently started up with a fresh battery. Even ran on the sta-bil filled fuel from the day it was parked.

I’m not sure that would help the rings at all. I’ve always heard either completely filling an engine with oil or pouring it into the combustion chamber and periodically turning it over to help with that. edit: I was thinking about this last night, do you think fluid film sprayed into the...

I’m sure it will but there’s a hole at the bottom where the bottom bolt is (along with one on each side) and it’s primarily big rocks here vs mud so not super worried about it.

But my U-joint is way safer now

Yep that’s the theory. I’ve hit my pumpkin a few times offroad so I figured I’d attempt not to bust a U joint if I could. It’s from ruffstuff specialities.

Added a shovel to my 09

Im not sure a vehicle is ever done lol

Swapped the thermostat since my hmmwv crossover still isn’t here and the seller isn’t responding. Pretty sure he’s a member here too.

I’ve thought about one of these for a while, where’d you get it? I ended up moving my rear battery onto the front tray as well because it died prematurely even with a heat shield wrap.

I was able to drop mine with it on all 4 tires. A trans jack makes all the difference.

I did the same mod a while back. Tightened up the steering when out on rocks so much. Now when I turn the steering wheel the tires actually do what I ask.

Some counties use a spray at the beginning of the season but mostly they just put down sand. Chains and studded tires are legal here (and actually mandatory depending on conditions).
