What did you do to your GMT today?
I switched sides and put it up a little higher. Shouldn't have any problems with overheating... The open mouth grille has wayyyy more airflow than the stock grille anyways so I think I'll be good.

Cv shaft boot tore already 
..... Almost guarantee that its the napa brand cvs, and also heard some noises coming from my hub bearings so that also might be the culprit. Just ordered the detriot cvs that were recommended and two new hubs... Might go nuts if the next one's boot tears... But the passenger side is still stock and going strong, so I have hope.

Found a cheap mechanic to finish off my LCA install. Not sure how much I trust someone who hasn't learned to close their mouth when using an impact under a truck...

Built a bracket to push the panhard bar back so it wouldn't rub on the diff cover anymore. Yes, I know my welding sucks.

Nice job. I did that same thing 2 years ago when I was told that it was only rubbing because I pushed my axle back to far. I am glad to see I am not the only one.
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do.

400 miles from home and my transmission decided to take a crap 
I was driving along and as I started up a hill it felt like it popped into neutral. No drive, no 1st, no 2nd, no 3rd and no reverse. Fluid all up on the trans dip stick tells me the pump went or the torque converter crapped out. Trans Shop is going to pick it up in the morning and take a look. It sucks working away from home.

Man that absolutely blows. I painted the front grille and bow tie black again today. Did it when I first got it but after some off-road and a winter it got alittle chipped. The red bowyie looked like I drove rudolf the red nosed reindeer lol so that got painted black too.

After some coolant leaking left me on the side of the road cooling while on the way home from work a couple of days ago, tracked it to a bad water pump and changed it out along with belt, thermostat and radiator hoses yesterday and flushed out the coolant at the same time. Also replaced the front rotors and brake pads.
Now I have a random shimmy/shake/vibration coming from the front passenger side. It does it sometimes when accelerating, some when braking and just at random times while driving. Might be 3 times in a block and it might not happen for 5 miles. Really weird.

Ive liked how the tb looks without the front bumper cover, so today I took it of my rn to see how it looked in person. I like it a lot. I see some paint and skid plates in my future!

I installed 87 springs to replace my collapsed 86's and found this. I don't think I've seen this before around the boards and would be interested to hear an opinion from others why it may have broke.
My four wheel drive has also been out of service for a month now due to a bad disconnect. I bought the AWD replacement from US Powertrain to replace my faulty one but getting the old one out didn't turn out as planned......
For the record the grease from my rebuild 50k ago was dried out pretty good and the ultimate cause of failure was a broken shift fork.
Cheers,
Wallace

Didn't do anything today, but I did just get a message from custom wheel offset telling me that the rim I want which was a dual bolt pattern of 6x4.5 and 6x5 was actually never in the 6x5(127mm) bolt pattern, but it was a typo that FUEL made. It's actually suppose to be 6x4.5 and 6x5.5. Anyways, they offer a blank option for that rim and custom wheel offset will be getting them custom drilled to the 6x5 bolt pattern....
Pretty annoyed that I first got the wrong rims so I had to leave the tire shop without new tires, then come back the next day on saturday at 8:00 to sit and wait 3hrs to get my new tires mounted on my stock rims, then had to spend my money to get the rims packaged correctly to be shipped back, to be told that it it was all typo... but glad that I will for sure be getting the right bolt pattern now.
