I tell yah it drives some nice now with the new steering box and ball joints

Todays was the first time I've really driven it since relocaters were put on! Soooo smooth, made me think it was broken. Didn't know that steering wheel could be straight

Added a hitch to my rear bumper today didn't like how I had it before so I recessed the recever into the bumper 3/4" so I can mount it flush and still have access to the pin really like how it came out also some weld porn didn't come out too bad for flux core ;)

Will be interesting to see an H2 in the woods!

As for "what did you do to your rig today" I am in the process of upgrading the blower motor. The stock blower motor simply does not move enough air to do much of anything.... you could have a small child in there blowing through the heater core and it would be almost as effective. So, slight modifications to the housing and a blower motor that is available almost everywhere (picked up mine at Canadian tire... I think it's for a GM product...) will bolt right on and move A LOT more air. Problem is the offside wing needs to come apart/off to gain access enough to install the built up unit!

Not too bad though, the side of the wing comes off by undoing 6-8 fasteners that are all easily accessible from inside the wheel well.

Got it installed last night. It sure does move a pile of air! Compared the the asthmatic weasel of a blower motor I had it is something closer to a leaf blower!

Best thing is the blower motor installed is for a large number of GM products from the mid 80s to mid 90s so it should be easy to get if I need to replace it.

Try it out for real on sunday!

Right on :biggthumpup: !! Heat is highly underrated, until you've had to go without this time of year.
