This is what $400 of oil, oil filters and fuel filters look like when giving a Detroit 60 and an Onan 12k generator a pre season prep.

I think they would have been confused by the dual oil filters.
My neighbor changed the oil in his 6.7 yesterday. After oil, filters, fuel filters, and DEF he was over $300. I was grateful for my gasser.

Diesel oil is very hard to find right now. I buy it like toilet paper in 2020, anytime it's on the shelf.

I usually use Rotella on the motorhome but had to go with a different brand since they were out.

I hated the fuel filter cost on my 6.7.

All the talk about backing up in the dark in the window tint thread reminded me that I had backup lights to install. Tapped into the trailer plug and put a switch in the bed for hooking up at night. Also learned from the last set and mounted these way outboard so they light up what you can see in the mirrors.

Spent all afternoon yesterday finishing up exhaust, It had some drone with it dumped under the bed so I had to run it all the way to the rear of the truck. Also discovered I apparently forgot how to weld. I had to hit everything I welded with a flap wheel so it wasnt so bad looking...lol
Got it back off the Jack stands from the exhaust and recent fuel pressure issues.
Put the new shoes on it and I almost went a little bigger but everything barely clears. Got lucky 1st try it seems. Could possibly go a touch wider in the rear but I have about 1/2" inside and outside the wheelwell currently and Im pretty happy with that clearance.
Still need to get it geared and then decide for sure if Im gonna swap the converter or not.
Then the rear traction bars, sway bar, roll pan, and weld on new perches to replace the flip kit as the pinion angle sucks.
Getting down to just a few projects left on this one, then just cruise it...lol

This old thing is finally back on the road. I replaced the rear ring and pinion and passenger shaft with some Yukon loveliness. This is my first time going solo on a regear so I really took my time. Thanks to all you guys who I texted 40,000 times for advice. 😎

James, that is going to make a cool little driver. I really miss both of my lowered shop trucks, especially the '91.
I'll give you a call as soon as I have a gap in work so we can get those gears swapped.

Nice work on the gears Jeremy. Jeep is looking good and glad to hear she's back on the road.

Thank you, sir! I definitely missed daily driving the JK. It's been parked since Thanksgiving, I think. 28 miles on the new gears and they haven't blown up yet, fingers crossed. 😬
