What did you do to your rig today?

Post by **Morpheus** » Tue May 25, 2010 9:14 pm

I did the poor man's snorkel on the weekend too, but I ran mine up into the area between the master cylinder and the fender. Kept it all underhood.

I put a screw cap on the end, and put a matching one on the original intake position. Under normal driving, it will pull air from the stock location. When I go offroad, I switch the cap to the stock opening, and it will take air from the snorkel.

Also, today had the driver strut pulled apart (blown strut mount) and found I need a new strut too. Almost worn right through.

Pics to follow.

I rolled down the windows and baked in traffic because my truck started over-heating... I guess having the A/C cranked will do that eh? I guess it's time for some electric high power fans for the Pig.

I looked at it

Went and got an alignment, or had someone get my tires as close to factory specs as my lift kit will allow, and ordered a fan clutch, because mine is shot.

Truck drives nice and straight now!

Fixed my front bumper...I inadvertently ripped it off in a really deep mud hole on Monday. I was by myself, had to scab it back together on the trail to make it back on my 250km journey home from my parents. So I fixed it good enough for the Hydro Line on the 5th, then I'll start my tube bumper!!

Also did a bunch of other stuff on the weekend.

-removed my lightbar and wiring so I can make a new bar for 5 lights and redo the wiring
-painted my custom skids, front diff/oil pan, trans and t case, black
-touched up my rear bumper
-stealthed my grille
-painted the frame rails and some of the underside...my truck is full of dried up mud underneath
-painted the upper rear interior hatch piece black
-cleaned out the center console in preparation for a CB
-realized my e brake shoes are totally worn out...they don't hold ****!
-realized I lost my locking lug key....I'll have the dealer take these 4 off and then I'll replace them with regular style

And after all that I go rip off my bumper in a mud hole...good times.

This was the hole last year...it's an easy foot deeper this year.

LOL @ ^^ Sorry to hear about your truck Tom.

Put new plugs in mine today. That one at the back is a b!@tch!!

Took me an hour alone for that one.

Fought off swarms of hornets or wasps who were intent on calling my trailer hitch home. Okay, well it was only 1 horntet/wasp thing, but he was real persistent.
