I almost laughed Jeff, almost. Alan I think she is thoroughly unimpressed, but she's kind of liking the attention.

Oh come on! You at least did the little drum bad-joke sound effect in your head...

Kind of revamping my fifth wheel trailer. New tires, packed wheel bearings. Not to address the tired decals. Going to strip them all and replace. Going to be a sizable task.

time for a heat gun and lots of WD-40.

I put the stock wheels with the All Terrain tires back on the Jeep last night. Trying to preserve the life of the Mud Tires for when the off-road trails are open again.

There is a little more room with the k member left in, but it's unbelievable how they have this shield around the batter case....11 screws to remove it. Even though we did it on a lift I would still rather drop the k member, just because it's still easier to get to all the lower header bolts.

**EDIT**
One big improvement is the ground that is on the motor mount bracket. It used to be this worthless piece of thin aluminum that would break when you tried to get it off the stud. Then you would have to splice a new connector. Now they have a "Real" eyelet connection on it.

Guess I've done mine and Steve's without removing the k member so never had to mess with the ground. Good to know, I'll be looking forward to Todd's eventually.

Jeff those pistons sure are clean, that's a good sign.
