Seats

I like the 3 seat setup vs a bench seat. I have two grey bucket seats left over from my hummer build. I also picked up this middle seat from pick n pull for $20

DD

Well I paid a little attention to the daily driver recently. My old tool box would not open or close properly due to the fact it was literally falling apart. So out with the old in in with a new smaller lighter working unit.

Hubs

So I got a killer deal on a pair of mile marker hubs. All stainless steel and hardened steel vs plastic & aluminum.

Headliner

If any of you out there ever driving a truck owned by a smoker, you would know about the sagging headliner. Well I for one don't appreciate the headliner drooping down like six inches. So I tore off the sagging fabric and opted for some spray on rubber.

Starting issues

The other day ole blue wouldn't start (wouldn't crank over). I threw the battery charger on and it showed a very low charge. I charged it all day and it barley started. I drove on the freeway for a bit just to warm up the motor and charge the battery a bit more. When I got home I turned off the truck and went to restart and nothing... The motor wouldn't even turn over, I threw the charger back on and the battery was dead.
The battery was swapped out for a new one but still no start. I pulled the starter motor, this entailed hours of scraping away sludge, soaking the bolts, a breaker bar,  a handful of extensions, a 12 point 10mm socket (not 12 point 3/8'' I tried for a quite a bit) punching the frame, motor and front axle as they broke loose and it was off. I took it in to auto zone for testing and left with a new one. After all this nonsense she fires up right away!

Diff

I pulled the diff covers, changed the oil and gaskets on both diffs. Good thing I did there was water in the oil in the front diff and the rear was very dirty.
