What have you done to your rig today?

I managed to change out the fuel pressure regulator on my 02 LB7 Duramax today. It idles nice and smooth now! My ribs and stomach feel like Chuck Norris round house kicked them though. I should invest in one of the "truck creepers" that you lay on over top of the motor...it'd probably keep the sore ribs to a minimum.

Started on my 2" BB lift last night on the Green Gremlin. Got 3 wheels done but the bump stop is messed up somehow on the drivers side front. So having to do some custom work to the puck and the bump stop. Should finish up tonight.

Put in my 2" BB lift. Then took it through a few fields for a test drive.

Well this day sucked a butt. I went to put new bearings, seals, etc in my front axle when I noticed something wasn't fitting exactly right...

Looks like new inner C's for me.

So I spent the rest of my day tearing the front axle out.

@McCracken time for some Reid inners? Or do you need some stock inners?
 
I bought some of their outers for my Ford 60, totally worth it. Their inners look pretty sexy too.
 
I hooked a trailer to it, filled the trailer with logs, then parked the whole thing over in the woods.

Losing high range in my 231 and getting to rebuild it with a case from a thrown driveshaft was the highlight of my day. Fun drive home at 30mph in low for thirty miles. Case was bone dry, well except for the ATF that turned into grinding compound. It's done and back moving now.

Went through the Mall Crawler to mark all of the tweaks that need attention. Dropped it off with my friends at Carolina Auto Concepts (SL Customs) so they can fix what I already "fixed" :).
