Pulled this harness from a scrapped 70. It is in way better shape than my original all hacked up one. Testing all the circuits now, and will be using all new switches. Takes a lot of time.

Re: What did you do to YOUR bump today?
Went to the tire shop for an alignment.
The tech said everything checked out "perfectly" so they didn't charge me for shop time. The tech printed out the results and said "Have a great day".
I had aligned it with 1/8-inch toe-in..... in my driveway.... using two pieces of aluminum, two tape measures, and attention to detail.
The LBB is officially roadworthy.

I cut out the rust of my bed.
I have welded the subframe with a piece of 1mm sheet metal. I hope it´s good for the next 50 years

Pulled the heads since most of the exhaust manifold bolts broke off when I tried removing them, pulled the power steering gearbox off to reseal it.

Hauled a church pew back to it's home after repairing it; then washed Julius for the first time this year. Did manage to track down a short to the new stereo, so that Boston can play loudly anytime so desired....
too many Fords, no where near 'nuff time.

Re: What did you do to YOUR bump today?
Not just today but for the last two weeks and the next two weeks..........so I guess it's " what did I do to my Bump this month!"
When I did the Cummins 4BT install I went with the M5ODR2 and it was a nice match to the 4BT's power band,but in our move from Bakersfield,CA. to northern AZ. it made 4 trips towlin trailers one was quite heavy at 8,000lbs two were 5,000lbs and the last was only 4,000lbs the 4BT preformed like a trooper but by the time we got it all here the M5r2 was making a lot of noise it was a good sport though as it held together for another 15,000 miles untill we foune the right house to buy and moved all those trailer loads one more time over the I-17 grades.Once we got settled in it finely let loose for good but limped home only to finely quit in the yard within 50' of the shop.So now I'm putting in it's place a 2x4 ZF s-542 I'm in the middle of overhauling it and it is a real PITA to do,I've been doing this sort of thing for over 35 years and never dealt with a piece of equipment that is this complicated in it's overhaul process,fortunately the ZF manual is quite comprehensive including good pictures of the many special tools needed to do the job as I will need to make at least 3 and maybe as many as 5 of them to finish the job.To make things even more challenging Ford has very little support for the ZF 542 even many of the "soft parts" are now listed as obsolete,and the "core" zf I got had been previously "rebuilt" by someone with more enthusiasm than knowledge and whose go to tool seems to have been the 3# hammer luckily I found 4x4 ZF in a local bone yard in good shape internally for the hard parts I will need.This has been quite an experience and in hindsight the $1,200 that they wanted for a rebuilt unit would have been a real deal......never again will I do this on a ZF but with a little luck this one will out last me and the next time will be someone else's problem.

Re: What did you do to YOUR bump today?
I installed a small volt gauge in my dash where the amp light was. Now I need to clean the interior up. I can't believe how much dust my truck collected over the winter!
