Between yesterday and today, I replaced the oil seals on the differential and axles, and put in some new gear oil. After that I test drove it and washed it. Now debating on taking out the drivers side taillight AGAIN to find the leak.

Put LED front DRLs / turn signals and new housings also. I can get a shot at night if youll want. They look real good when the signal is flashing.

Cleaned/sanded/cleaned and put on POR15 to protect the undercarriage. I got from the front of the subframe connectors to the gas tank done minus inside the driveshaft hump. Hope to get the section in front of the frame connectors and inside the driveshaft tunnel soon.
