Thanks I'm pretty satisfied , my ocd cringes every time I looked at my frame an the rust. So this has been on my schedule all winter haha.
It's not too bad If you have a friend helping you. With two guys it took a couple days.
Probably be a all week job by yourself.

A much needed update on the redstag.
Pretty much daily driving an mild off-roading threw the week has finally caught up to me.
I have a civic now that I daily , so it's helped me save money an take care of all the repairs I need to make so I will be ready this spring.
Leaks leaks and more leaks!!!!
So basically as you can see, front main seal is leaking , oil pan leaking , trans lines leaking , trans pan leaking.

I didn't really take pics of everything off cause I was covered in fluids the whole time. Took me awhile , but I got everything plugged up and cleaned.
I replaced trans lines ( this is 2nd time) so I used some thread sealer this time to see if that helps.
I replaced main seal , oil pan gasket, an trans gasket.
What sucks is I'm pretty sure I will have to replace my torque converter AGAIN, the clutch was brown when I cracked open the trans pan. Everything just burning up.

Too little too late for this , but I still need it anyways , it was a major pain in the ass trying to get the brackets to fit right, but I got everything as straight as possible. Hopefully this mishimoto will keep my transmission temps down an make it last a little longer.
Also I replaced the plug on my winch for the winch controller. It was really finicky an just not working right , couple bucks from quadratec an got a new one.
Took it all apart and replaced it, not too bad.
Works like brand new ! No more hiccups !

I scored a set of rigid side shooters for 100 bucks [emoji16][emoji1303]
Now , since I cleaned everything up underneath my rig, I don't want to have anymore "mistakes" like this
Yeah my oil pan took a beating, got lucky one night when I was out in the mountains.. coulda been worse.
Well these just came in today so hopefully I won't have that problem anymore.

Another reason I haven't updated in forever , been working in the new garage an struggling with a death wobble issue as well.
I replaced front passenger and driver side hubs .
They were both bad , also put new synergy ball joints on drivers side.
The old synergys were wobbling an completely worn out.
Oh also I got a new hood finally !!! Lol , I only paid 35 bucks for a 2015 oem hood. Had a friend of mine repaint it.
No more ugly dent! Also put a red grill back in.

Put my new skids on today
So after putting my skids on, before I got to the last one I really started looking at my crossmember.
It's been beaten pretty bad over the years. I'm thinking I might just get a new evo crossmember . Would deff make it easier mounting up the bolts for my new skid.

Okay I'm always slacking on this thread, but here is a update.
As of right now I've been saving and collecting parts to really bring my build together . I'm getting there one at a time.
Yukon 5.13 gears , motive bearings
Arb RD157 rear locker
ARB single high output air compressor
EVO arb air compressor mount
ARB air hose
ARB Digital tire inflator
PSC Big bore XD.
Just waiting on my ten factory chromoly 35 spline rear shafts.
I contacted ten factory an nitro gears, both companies said they have to build up orders first and make them.
So they were both looking at timeframes around January [emoji30] with ten factory being a little cheaper an sooner.
So I will have to wait for the arb rear locker install around then.

Okay, i already placed the order, but I will see if I can change the order. I didn't know they had a lifetime warranty on the flanges. That's awesome. Thanks guys
