She came through major surgery just fine. Got her back together last night. Could not put the C-Clips back in with the new spider gears. What to do? I spring loaded the passenger axle to keep constant pressure in the differential. Seems to work great. Here's part two of the picture whoring of surgery.
Was going to add my video of the front end jacked up and hubs locked and spin one tire forward the other moves forward.

I did a few things on mine:

First, I painted it using the $50 Rustoleum roller method. I was pressed for time and other projects, so it didn't turn out perfect. But I pretty much hated the original color. I still need to do final wetsand and polish, but I like it so far.

So I went from this:


To this:


This is 4 coats. I'm considering doing a final coat in flat black and murdering it out entirely. Hmm...

Second, I installed reverse sensors. I had them lying around, so I thought it'd be fun. And it is!

Third, I installed keyless entry, but the dumb module doesn't work. I click the fob button, the box makes a click and... nothing happens. No lock or unlock signal goes out. Special. Well, I ordered a different one. Then I'm going to run the broken one over. That'll show it!

Future 1, I'm planning on a leveling kit and 33's or 35's. Any suggestions on that?

Future 2, Brush guard. Might go well with the murdered out thing.
