She is the best. I know what you mean about shih tzu's
OP
Well I'm not going to hold my breath but maybe spring is finally here? Nice enough today for me to open up the garage door. Supposed to be in the mid to high 70⁰'s today.
OP
UPS was early today. Yah!!
I was just finishing mounting the power port on the center console.
Instead of using the screws to mount it I picked up some allenhead screws. Looks a lot better too.

Played with my label printer yesterday while I was watching 
my fur buddy.
I've also have Black letters on clear tape but since the numbers on the gauges were White I thought I'd try this.
I'd know just looking at the gauges which one was which but if someone else was driving? We'll see how they hold up after a few months.

Got the front driveshaft installed. Now I've got to make some adjustments to the exhaust pipe on the drivers side. Things are just tight up in there as others know.
OP
Took the afternoon off and went for a bike ride with my daughter. Got the first 75 miles on the new bike.
Up the Upper Tannum Rd. Had to turn around due to snow still on the road.
She has a Honda CB500X

That CB500X is a great bike. I have a buddy who has converted a few of them into full blown adventure bikes.
How do you like the Harley?
OP
It's a good starter bike and for her IMO it's perfect.
She wants a sport bike now but I told her I wouldn't buy it. So if she wants one it's on her dime.
So far the Harley is great. We rode a few state Hwy and then up the forest service road. But Karrlie dropped her bike in the snow patch on the road
. So I decided it was time to turn around. I rode thru it fine but I started out on dirt bikes.
OP
Here's the snow patch where she dumped her bile. No damage other than pride.
I should add that the road up ahead was worse and a lot more snow. It was warm enough that it was slush more than anything so it wasn't easy to ride thru.

How do you guys handle the change in necessary torque caused by anti seize? How do you know when it's tight enough?
I had problems breaking bolts for my CAs trying to get them to torque spec w/ anti seize applied
I'd gotten ahead of myself when I put the rear axle under the Jeep. I hadn't installed the brake lines or line locks. While not impossible to reach under the Jeep it's just more FUN. But I contorted my body and got them installed.......

Then I swapped out the stock diff cover and installed the Jeep diff cover.

Starting to look like a Jeep again. Tomorrow I'll work on the rear axle more. Install the AR and air springs and then the shocks. May even work on running the air lines for them.
Are line locks so you can do front digs? What do they do, just lock the currently applied hydraulic pressure at the flip of a switch?

Little details like this will make it really look clean at the end
OP
Dad won't let her ride without the proper gear. No tennis shoes shit in this house when you're riding. But I also know what it's like to lose the use of a limb. When she first got the bike all she had was Harley gear from riding with me. She started riding when she was 5.
But it's too warm here sometimes so I bought her that riding gear. And she was very appreciative when she went down. Her bike has crash bars on it which saves the body & paint.
She wasn't pleased that I was taking her picture.
OP
Using the Anti-Seize is similar to using the ARP fastener lube. Most times there is a wet torque spec & a dry torque spec on critical parts.
What bolts were you breaking? I'll see if I can find the stuff for doing a wet torque.
Yes They are for front digs to help the Jeep turn sharper. Lock the inner brake by stepping on the brake pedal and then hit a switch on the console. Once I'm done hit the switch and it unlocks it.
Thanks. After looking at the picture I can see that I got the MAIN label off a little so I'll make a new one and see if I can get it right.
I can't remember what size they were honestly, UCA frame side bolts. I ended up just forgoing the anti seize on the second set lol. Not alot of rust out here luckily
Cool!!
Let me just add that I think the verbage wet/dry torque spec might be just what I needed to figure it out via the googles next time...
