    I'm biased, but I think 18" wheels are the perfect happy medium between old school and new school. IMO, they look just right when combined with 35" tires and a 6" lift kit. :)

    Not an overwhelming amount of progress this weekend. I prepared the transfer case for sand blasting/powder coating. I also began replacing the wire loom on the wiring harness that is routed along the driver side frame rail. I was unable to finish, however, because I ran out of tape.

    Cab mounts repaired and new polly bushings installed

    So glad to hear you're pleased with the post-repair ride quality with polyurethane cab mounts. I have them on my truck but the truck remains an unfinished project, so I'm left wondering what to expect. As you have probably seen, the reviews are somewhat divided.

    We, the collective, disagree. Because of your build, I'm still regretting not purchasing a quick ratio steering gear and u-bolt flip kit. :D

    Odyssey Extreme ODP-AGM 78 (800 CCA).

    I decided to redo the horn installation. Aside from not having a locating tab, the supplied replacement brackets are shorter and flimsy (they are designed to be bent, if necessary).

    New wiper cowl (and, not seen, transmission linkages, windshield washer nozzles and 5/32" hose), wiper arms, and wiper blades. All Genuine GM components. Nonetheless, I had to gently bend the passenger side wiper arm to make the blade contact and conform to the windshield. Initially, it was ~1"...

    Ahhh, much better. I can confirm that Dow Corning 4 insulating compound is very easy to use. It also has great reviews, with one reviewer posting a photograph of his Land Cruiser crossing a river and swearing by the product's ability to insulate against water.

    Yes, the other half is missing. From the factory, the charcoal canister purge line would have been routed above the PCV line. The item circled in the photograph is to secure the purge line to the PCV line.
