I removed the trailer hitch receiver ...one of those square hole things. 4 nuts and bolts and two grinding areas...it is off now.

I am going to put on a hidden hitch and a flip up license place frame on it next...they are on the way from Early Classics.

I also cleaned off my transfer case and surrounding mounting surfaces...removed about 25 (not a typo) pounds of oily, greasy transmission fluidy, transfer case fluidy sand and dirt...about 30 years worth.

Also took off the spare tire and mounting thing with the associated hardware. I am going to the fix a flat and cell phone tire changing method.

So...got about 150 more pounds off the truck. Mileage going up.

Man this is fun.
