Did my gears tonight and installed a new driveshaft from Adams. Now to do a 500 mile gear break in between tonight and Friday morning

Take a good look. That is the least amount of mud that will ever be on that drive shaft. LOL
Unless I take advantage of a lift at work and pressure wash it lol
New seat day
Fixed my passenger side marker light after I hit a tree trying to knock it over (oops 
), and then rescued some poor 17 year old from flood waters. Kid drove his car through water too fast and hydrolocked his engine.
Also I got this really cool picture of my jeep lol.

New month, new wrenching opportunities. I'll kick it off with arrival of new rear shocks for the JT. My Foxes were weeping fluid on drivers side and gave me a good excuse to replace. Only 17k miles on them but something was failing. So new Foxes with remote. Hopefully get them on Monday.
Thats what I am riding on mine. I have had a year or two and really like them.
Not today, but yesterday had Bull Run 4x4 add some additional skids in the rear.

@BldyFrog @LASTLB @CookieMonster representing NVJA at RedBird. Got 3.5 badges 5,3,3x and a little of 2x
Tons of mud, all of the holes had soft bottoms. It was a day of winching, so much winching. Mistakes were made, jeeps were recovered. Fun was had, memories were made, badges were earned.

Got my first chance to wash, polish and spray ceramic coat the Gladiator. I'm happy with how it turned out and regret not getting an orbital polisher before now.

Thanks. Next up is the TJ.
I took the 3a out to stretch its legs and get gas on Saturday. All good. Took it out to go to the normal Sunday morning car and coffee and got out of the garage and turned it off to close the garage door. Went to start it back up and nada. A wire had broken at the back of the ignition switch. Old wiring sucks. So left it at home and fixed it when I got back.
New radio install Yaesu 300DR dual band is now at home in place of the Rugged. Just waiting on an antenna. and re running power leads direct to the main battery. Hopefully by the 19th I can get it wired.

Got the floor massaged to make room for the transfer case.
Got the linkage hooked up but didn't have enough throw in the stock shifter. Fabricated a piece to extend the shifter below the floor. Once the paint dries on it and I extend the vent hose, I can finish buttoning it all up.
