I filled out some form on the post office's website. Got some email back, saying it had been delivered, and the driver remembered delivering it. :rolleyes:

Surprise surprise, the springs showed up, today. The truck is fixed, and I'll probably run it, tomorrow. The weather's warming up, again.

Problem seems to be mesh between the pinion and ring gear. It's just that, there's no way to adjust that. I don't know how it suddenly changed.

Lube is all I can figure. I've packed it with marine grease, before. But it's not proper gear grease, and the diff oil tends to seep out of the inner diff. When it mixes with the grease, it does seem to turn into something that stays on the gears well. I don't know why it would have just suddenly started, in the middle of of a run. :huh:

EDIT: New grease didn't help. :ph43r:

Body is mostly finished, and painted. Gotta finish up the new chase rack and the light bars. The headlights are already pretty bright.

All the gory details, at the usual place.

I don't think mudflaps will help.

Could use a huge rebel flag, though

I was thinking a Gadsden flag. Just as rebellious, but not as specific to the south.

Actually, had a U.S. flag on it, yesterday. Took it off for today, because it was too muddy out.

Now, if I could find a 1/12 scale M14 EBR....

Shapeways tends to be pricey. Lots of other stuff much higher on the list of priorities.

Chase rack is finished. Here's a picture of it, freshly sanded, just before I painted it.

Posted Image

The brackets across the top are to mount the light bars. There'll be a medium length light bar in the middle, with a small one on either side. The small ones will be mounted so that they can be turned. I want to have them angled slightly to the sides, and down. The other little tabs are tie downs, so if I decide to put anything in the bed, it can be secured.

The rack has been painted with the same satin black Rustoleum as the rear slider bar.
