Drove it, put gas in it, calculated that I'm getting 12.8 mpg average, better than I thought! lol

Replaced my cheap plastic kingpin bushings with bronze ones (a Christmas gift from my son).

Gotcha, that's pretty neat. I'd probably rig up some velcro attachment to hang it on the driver side A pillar were it me.

I put my lightbar switches on the left hand side by my E brake but I don't have any photos of it.

Changed out my month old $30 fuel pump for another $30 fuel pump. Hopefully this one lasts a little longer. If I hadn't cut an access hole I would be more upset about the pump replacement. I will be buying a better pump this spring.

I wouldn't keep installing $30 fuel pumps, unless you want your new hobby to be changing the pump with every oil change ...

I will only install Bosch, Denso, or AC Delco pumps in my customer's vehicles, since I hate working for free a 2nd time.

I made a skid plate for my transfer case to match the one I made for my gas tank.

From the front.

From the back.

From the side.
