The joy of being locked in the front with no way to turn it off... :)

I'd love some ARBs but y'know... they cost money and junk. Plus the truck came with Detroits (so I was told) but we shall see what's really inside in a few weeks when I get around to switching axles. The spare I got from Josh is set up for hydro, just need everything else. That's on the "to buy" list along with the 5.29/Detroit rear, it'll get done someday... eventually... maybe...  ::)

If my truck wasn't so tall with 4 point harnesses I'd hop out to lock/unlock the hubs, but even being 6'2" it's a good hop into the cab. And landing on the harness latches sucks a bit. I aired the tires down to 20 to see how that affects the death wobble... hope it goes away.

Today I cleaned the oil pan and valve cover, going to stick them back on tonight. Thought about painting them Chevy Orange "just because"... but I'm not because the engine is only getting maintenance money spent on it. It's running fine so I'm not touching it. Plus it got about 15 mpg last trip even being aired down to 10 psi most of the time.

And here's two videos of my flexing and fender testing:
