fresh steering pump (Matt's #) rock'd
flat tire swapped and unit washed. swapped the pinholed filter but didn't replumb yet - figured I'd wait for the fresh pump. I'd never swapped the filter from the original dakota even though they were in the trailer
fluid full and looks great.
I think it popped at the site of a crack in the paint and a little rust - still seems damn strange. Not like it's rusty crusty at all.
front diff puking out the cover, made a nice trailer mess. doesn't look cracked but I know I whacked it GOOD a couple times.
tire looks fixable at first glance; need to use the M4 KRT breaker to get it off the wheel. runflat needs some stitching and a tube.
passenger lower link badly bent and rubbing driveshaft. time to install those lowers!
