What Did You Do To Your 3rd Gen Today?

[Snowy21]

Caught a warmer day in Indy today so I finally put on my new OEM LBJ's, OTRE's, new plugs, and replaced an auto parts store CV with an OEM one. Took about 3 hours total so I can't complain and its nice peace of mind for spring wheeling when it comes.

Next up is fabbing up a new panhard and rear bumper...

Continued trying to diagnose all my 9 cel codes! As much as I like how my truck looks and drives (when it does) it has to be one of the worst cars i've ever owned reliability/maintenance wise!I guess I got a lemon! I just came back from a drive and now my rear driver tire locks up at low speeds when I brake!sucks for the people behind me since I got to reverse a little to free it up.Any ideas?rear shoe adjustment?Bad axle seal?

Yep...rear axle seal. Costs a pretty penny to have someone fix it for you and cost next to nothing if you're willing to do it yourself. There's a few threads on here that walk you through it if you're willing. It's not too terrible if you're handy with tools. Brake cleaner will help out in the short term.

Ya that's what I thought.I'm definately doing it myself , i don't think i'll ever pay someone to work on my cars.

Thank you. Word of advice... be careful with all the edges. I messed up a few and I have to fix them. Just going to wait for it to cure well and then fix them. Overall, I was skeptical at first but I like it. I'll update and post how it's holding up. Might be time for a build thread :biggrin2:

Well, a day late, but: changed out front rotors, installed and wired up my new KC lights, removed wheel spacers, balanced 1, yes 1 tire, greased all the u joints and slip yokes and rain x'd the windows...
As for the rain x, I hear mixed opinions, but its snowing here and kinda of wet... that stuff is amazing!!

trans flush! and finished wiring up my hellas, and all new wipers all around! and started shopping for a winter set of tires. Firestone AT's look a bit lame for snow.

Ran my rear roof led light wiring into the cab sealed everything and ran it into the engine bay in the vincinity of the battery. Looking at my accessory wiring, I need to put a waterproof/seal aux fuse box in the engine bay to clean it up. Made some brackets to mount my rear facing led lights to the WMW roof rack.
