well i guess its not what i did today (as its 10am and no way i did this all in 2 hours)
but oil leak on driveway after a 2 hour drive last week (friday), rear main seal was gone. This only 7 months after putting in a 80,000km motor in (in hind sight i shuld have done it then, but 7months ago i needed to swap a motor and get running in less then 7days for a new job)

its been a while since i worked on a muddy truck, and i hate eating dirt, and dust, and even with safety goggles on still dirt in the eye

no shop light (as i loaned it out) used one of my rear backup led lights (damm its bright, hooked up to a 12v 3Amp source_
Image

Image

my rear slip yoke boot was trashed and went to the dealer to get a new one (was already in there for an oil change on work and personal vans) dodge wants 400$ Canadian, for the boot, balancer on the forward part of the driveshaft (*&^^&* that)
i ordered from a local jeep supplier for 27$ just the boot (ridiculous)

Image

also decided since the breather lines where in bad shape to replace and extend.
Extended the transmission and transfer case breather all the way to the engine bay...
this truck does see some deep water, so better safe then sorry

Never heard that about Oshawans. I have heard a few names for Ottawans though...lol

Must be hard to find trails in your area, mostly private down there.
