Had a spare hitch ball mount laying around and since I still run the factory tire carrier, decided to make a beaver tail.

I wasn’t to keen of the lip on the mount so I made it smooth. My angle grinder was not happy... IMG_8126.jpg

Looks fun, not for the grinder though lol. Flap discs work great for grinding stuff smooth.
Are the gears all fixed up yet?

Yeah cut off wheel just be careful those things will duck you up then a 30 grit flap wheel. I wish I had this rid bit of info when installed my lift. Using the grinder to smooth everything out after cutting off the control mounts sucked.

Yea tell me about it, I hate grinders, the only time I like the grinder is with a flop disc. I always try my cordless Milwaukee sawzall with a Diablo blade ( good blade is key) first in a tight spot. It works surprisingly well. If that doesn’t work I’ll go to a grinder with a cut of wheel.

Mobil 1 sure does get pricey when u jump from 75w90 to 75w140!!! At another $7 quart, I went with valvoline this time.

Also, gave the diff covers a fresh coat of paint while it was apart.

It was good. They did take some optional rock lines out of the Blues so that was a bit disappointing.

Other than that, it was a good trip. My kids had a blast.

I stayed my ass away from the mud pits yet still spent the evening yesterday trying to clean up the underside. I think it’s time to introduce my gas tank Skid to a BFH. The gap has grown considerably where the Skid meets the frame rail.

Bought some bare steel tube doors and used some pet barrier screen to make a DIY mesh kit. $200 is just nuts when DIY ran $25.

This is as much door as I’m willing to run to appease the PA Vehicle Code enforcers. IMG_8425.jpg IMG_8424.jpg
