We already got plenty of paint damages, I still need to run it through the gears, gear vendor, brakes to verify everything is good. Little more time.
Also it doesn't have any of the jewelry on yet.

Maybe a wiring issue in the O2 circuit? Bad/insufficient grounds?

Hum boys gotta Hum! 😅
I like it.
I've got some wheels that aren't ugly with your name on them if you like.
Just to verify I don't have two bad 02s we went over to my uncle's Studebaker that also has a sniper on it, ended up just taking his 02 to my truck, same reading of 35.6 afr. 🫤. Gotta be a bad driver in my sniper.
We also noticed for whatever reason they mounted his 02 way past the H pipe, it should be 6-8" from the collector flange but his still runs fine.

Welded on those 1.25” squares with the weld-bungs I added in them last week.
Obviously the hitch isn’t the greatest spot to add an on-board airtank and brackets but the H2 has limited space under the body compared to the JT with the spare tire gone.
Put 2 coats of POR15 on the area after it cooled.

Added a hood to the arc gouging room at MTECH’s Lehi campus. This room only had a 14” exhaust at the ceiling, and opposite end of the room where the students work. Built this hood by hand, teaching my two apprentices. It’s not perfect, but we don’t have access to a full sheet metal shop, so we did our best!

Getting my cruiser ready for Cruise Moab next week, I spent all day yesterday working on projects.
#1 was replacing my slightly bent rear lower control arms with new reinforced Dobinson arms. You can see the bend clearly when placed on top of the new one.
Then a couple of friends came over and helped me diagnos my intermittent cylinder 3 misfire. We found cylinder 3 has low compression. During a leak down test all the air was coming through the intake. With a bore scope camera we could see one of the intake valves isn't closing completely and looks different than the other one. Best case is a valve adjustment, worst case is rebuilding the head...again. I had it done in May of 2020 and I'm not happy to have to deal with head issues again after only 30k miles or so.
Knowing the cause of my rough running, I moved forward with removing my mangled sliders and temp fixing my exhaust.
On the Rubicon last year, I reshaped the slider under the passenger side, pushing it into the cats and pushing the cats into the body and ripping the pipe out of the front of the muffler.
I fought the siezed bolts I couldn't get my impact on and ended up twisting one until it broke under extreme leverage.
After weaving a tapastry of profanity that is still hovering over the Great Salt Lake, I dropped the passenger side slider.
Next to the new one that will go on someday.
The old slider is pretty beat!
The offending hole in the muffler.
I did what I could to clean the front so I could bugger weld it. The bigger the glob the better the job, right?
Laying on my back under the truck I fought to get the welder in a spot to weld it up, but ultimately decided to just bugger weld it and worry about a better fix later when I replace the whole exhaust.
Don't judge me by my lack of welding ability. I suck at lots of things, welding just happens to be one of them...😁
After the welding dabacle, I removed the driver side slider, put my tools away, cleaned the shop and called it a day.
Tomorrow I'll call around to find a shop I trust to work on the valves and head if needed. I'll text @zmotorsports too and see how far out Mike is on projects. I'm not excited about possibly having the head rebuilt again so soon.

Seems like the perfect time for a shiny new LS...lol
Added my runningboard lights I took off the gladiator. This time I wired them up with their blinker function too. I didn’t on the Gladiator because they blinked out-of-sync with the truck blinker, but on the H2 they sync up correctly so I did it.
I also added some “ditch lights”. They look a little goofy up there but this isn’t their permanent mounting spot. I know they look weird but I’ve had them lying around so I figured use them.
They are wired up to be able to turn each side on individually.

I thought about it, but I don't have LS swap money.
