I think that's on the other side of where we were. that road is COVERED from one end to the other, not at all like the first time we were there.

There are some fresh repairs to the non-rerouted road, and it looks like the cemetery is having a new rear entrance prepared; I think they're going to have to move more of hwy 61.

funny.

I made a mild attempt to get onto the closed road but my first effort got me frame contact so I backed off. slight adjustment I probably could have driven right over, or it looked like the north side had an easier entrance.

Erik and I spent a rainy dreary day exploring Centrailia. There are a ton of abandoned coal roads. We found some fun ones on the east side of town - the side we hadn't been to before with the club.

Hubs torn down. Seal in pieces on the leaking side. Edge of the drum is cracked all over too. At least 4-5 places. Driver side is 90+% shoes & good seal, must just be out of adjustment. 

Have a bent rear swaybar link.

Truck came with a spare rear rotor so I'm all set. Just nasty seal leak cleanup to do.

never followed up on this stuff I guess....

Since the driver side was in great shape, I didn't change any parts on that side. Adjusted both and the ebrake works great!

Lowered all tires to 75psi, it rides much nicer than at 105. That should be approx. right for the front axle and is probably still WAY more than I need for the rear. I'll have to keep an eye on tire bulge when I get a heavy trailer on there again to make sure sidewalls aren't contacting. They're relatively close but with the combined weight rating still around 12,000# at 75psi I don't expect much bulge.

Finally caught a replacement airbag cheap so I have a pair of them coming. Apparently on the slow boat from china with a mid-June est. arrival.

Found a cheap set of vent visors on fleabay too. "free money" spent on both of these things with Discover rewards and some un-transferred truck parts money in the paypal acct.

Pupster & sleep shelf constructed last night. It splits an tucks under the rear seat when not in use

Needs front legs trimmed and installed. it'll get some pad and carpet at some point.
