Going to drive it for a bit. Insurance is only $30/mo for liability. LOL

Always something to be worked on! GTG would be good but I am sure it would have to be after the holidays as things get pretty busy this time of the year.

I'd dump that thing at the first snowfall when the price for a 4x4 goes through the roof!

Welcome to the early part of the bs thread Eric! haha

Afternoon everyone. Kind of a slippery day out there today around here. Got some ice last night and a light coating of snow over that with flurries in the air now.

Troy, when you rebuilt your turbo did you use any silicone on anything? I've got the excursion one apart now. Going to add WW2 and 360° thrust bearing rebuild kit. Thanks and any other tips

You have a shovel right??

Just use a long handle brush and stick your arm out the window to clean the windshield

Nope no silicone just used some oil to lube the bearings up and stuff and that was it. Used some loctite on the bolts when I put it all back together.
