It's already a bastard because I swapped a L67 series II 3800 into it ten years ago. It was originally an 85 hot air setup. Positioned everything to simulated the old LC2 setup, and confuses the hell out of people.

I have this 4.8 sitting here taunting me to put heads/cam and send it...

Decided to tackle the last remaining issue on truck. Drivers axle seal has been leaking for awhile. Just enough to **** me off. Decided to get new spacer and retention plates as well. About to go borrow a press in awhile to press the new seal on the axle. What a pita to grind off without hitting the axle....


Old. Tried sealing it once, but it was the bearings themselves leaking.



Ready for press

New shoes for the RZR. Ready for some off roading for spring break with the kids!

Wrapped it up and zero leak now. First time in 5 years I can say the truck is "done"... For now.
​​​​​​ Time to rack up some miles

Valid statement. I'm going to try out this part for awhile and see how it works, lol. Though I could use some funding for my next stage in GN build....

I’m definitely the same way. I enjoy the build process more then I enjoy owning the car/ truck.
