It's an e-fan! Here's my little writeup about it.



Update: I measured the fan running at battery voltage (engine not running) and got 2775 RPM. I imagine with alternator juice that number would be a bit higher. I figured inquiring minds would want to know!

New shift knobs - mahogany knobs from early 1900's hand planes.

Yosemite trip this weekend.

On the way, still clean


Snow at Yosemite Falls

They were making most cars put on their chains at the entrance. The guard looked at us and said "Four wheel drive? Go on in."

Extended breathers installed front and rear. I don't love the factory jiggle valve style since there is no filtration and it can close up when the gearbox is trying to suck air inward (think fast cooling when getting dunked in a puddle).

I opted to use an inline paper fuel filter and an industrial-style gearbox breather that uses tiny metal beads all sintered together to make a filter (that's the gold colored thing).



Rear breather




Front breather

New "Depo" headlights installed. Thanks @Snowden for the recommendation.



The frames and hardware that the Depo headlight housings went in were lower quality than the OEM ones and I had read some folks had trouble aiming them properly for this reason. I took the time to swap the new Depo housings into the OEM frames and move the OEM hardware over. Note the OEM hardware included longer drain tubes.

Depo frame:


OEM frame:

Before hardware swap, Depos up top and factory below:

I'm pleased to report that my wax job is still holding up super well. Collinite 845 insulator wax is fantastic stuff

I owe a huge thanks to @mtbtim and @infamousRNR for their work with me to change out my rear axle bearings and seals and pop in a new differential. The details of the project will show up in the video they release soon.

As we R&R'ed the rear axle bearings and seals we confirmed the need to flip the retainer as per the @Drcoffee method to get good contact between the sealing surface and the newly-designed axle sealed. My rig is non-ABS so it was interesting for us to learn that this method was still applicable here. Timmy the Toolman will of course explain all this in his video.

The rear bearings had not failed or washed out but they had a significant amount of "axial slack" compared to the new ones. What I mean is, you could rotate the inner bearing race out of plane a pretty significant amount. Interestingly enough the factory Nachi bearings with 225k still had nice clean looking grease:



While we had the axle shafts out we installed a new diff carrier I had @ZUK set up for me with a TrueTrac limited slip. It is truly a thing of beauty, with every detail carefully considered and documented. Here is the writeup Zuk did on his website.





Working great so far!

(Also, my old diff is sold already in case anyone was wondering)

Installed a Whiteline 20mm spacer on the driver's side rear coil to help correct the lean. The 10mm OME spacer wasn't quite high enough.
