    Mr.BlueSky reacted to alpaca in Ramps   
    The 4 ramp trick worked for oil change -  not needed though - off road height is good enough. I found out the same for rear diff - off road height and slide under the car from passenger side rear. Fluid change was pretty easy. Filled to spec with 500ml lab syringe from Amazon. Old fluid with about 45k miles on it still looked pretty good. Some gunk and metal particles on mag drain plug - but also not too bad:  will add pic when I’m on my other computer.

    Here's a link to the free online Campfire Permit.  Takes 5 minutes and lasts through 12/31 -- nice to have one in the glovebox.

    Finally put in my repaired air locker and swapped in some 300M axle shafts in the rear. I can finally return this borrowed open diff to El Presidente. After checking the pattern with marking compound, I determined the pinion gear is set a little too far in, but it’s run that way for years now so I just decided to leave it and set the backlash. It was a put together third from Lucky 8 done by the previous owner. I’ve been wanting to regear to 4.88’s, so if I shred these then I’ll just use it as an excuse to regear both axles. For now, the free fix will suffice.

    Check out the first review of our new Overland Pros Wraptor 4K awning on Overland Bound channel. It is an awesome fully freestanding 270 degree awning. Also, we have our 3rd gen shower/privy available. Talk to Nick or myself about an NCLR discount!

    Wiring up my dual battery system over the past week + installing front HD Ashcroft axles, ATB diff, HD ring & pinion, etc. in the Perentie. The exchange rate has been good for UK goodies...!

    Took the classic to smog - it promptly failed before I could roll it in the station...
     
    Check engine light came on as I rolled into the parking lot.

    Read codes on the classic today (already forgot what it was : ( ... )
     
    LRDirect order came in with the extra alu wheel nuts. 
     
    Even if 3/5 wasn't bad, I feel much more comfortable driving around with 5/5 lug nuts ; )
