I drove down to escort_gts's house to finish my 4x4 swap.

Today's project, I also scraped a crapload of mud out from under my truck and cleaned the inside.

6$ ORV flag "quick disconnect". I went to lowes and bought a kobalt air fitting kit.

I was on 23 merging on to 94 when my truck decided it wanted to hydroplane and hit the side of a bridge.








That's what happened. Ouch.

My transfer case seems to be stuck in 4wd.
I'm pretty sure It's my booty fab bushing on the shifter. I have the correct parts sitting here but I'm being lazy.
I will address the issue on Monday and then we can go back. :icon_thumby:

As it is right now, I could make it but it would use a lot of gas and put lots of stress on everything. My front tires are starting to look weird on the outside lugs from turning on pavement with it in 4wd.

I got bored today and did something I've been wanting to do for a long time.

Now I just need to buy one of these.

The CB antenna idea has been working great so far. I've had it on the highway and it doesn't whip around too bad.
The match is below 1.5, so I'm happy with that.
I have a windshield antenna that is stuck behind my OHC for the stereo, so I think I'm going to stick with that.
