Tried bleeding the air out, but not sure it worked. Oil was still kinda frothy. I think the pump is just weak. I have another one to try on it, when the air dries out a bit. The dew point right now is 71, sweating just doesn't help much in those conditions. While the front was jacked up, I tried something else with the front axle. Hubs locked, turn the tire, opposite side spins opposite direction. Unluck hub, wheel turns on it's own freely, same thing for other side. Drove it again in 4wd and it's definitely locking up good. Got the transfer case shifter on, sweet.

I also found a pet living in it, time to test out the dryer sheet /rodent preventer trick. Downfall of of leaving it out at the farm.

I took it out down the highway! WOW!, Won't be trying that again for a while. Open exhaust, floor gone, weak brakes, YIKES! One plus was that after driving it at 55 mph and letting up on the gas, it was so quiet I actually thought the engine died.

Status of the apparatus:
Engine running-check
transmission working-check
transfercase working-check
front hubs locking-check
steering-needs work
lights and other electrical-needs work
brakes-yikes!
exhaust-kinda loud
floor-I'm a flintstone for now
body-who cares until other stuff is fixed
