What did you get done to your truck this weekend?

I got quite a bit done. Got the truck in the garage Friday night, Saturday, we took the Rockwell t-case out. Started at about 9:00 AM, unhooked the drivshafts. (front one is a PITA to get off), and finally at about 4:00 Sunday afternoon, we got it out of the truck. Some of those bolts for the tranny/t-case adapter are bad to get at, but we got them out. We took the t-case apart today, only to find that most of the internal parts were like new shape. The gear in there that drives high range only (slider gear??) wiggles around a little, the middle bushing is worn some. The other noticable thing was that the case is worn where the top shift fork is. From all the popping out of gear it has done, the rod that is on the PTO cover that controls high-low etc, it chaffed some metal out of the case itself. We have come to the conclusion that those 2 things are making it pop out of gear, because everything else is in like-new condition. I'm planning on calling about a parts truck this week.

Also took my heavy custom made rear bumper off. Made out of 5/16in plate steel, thing must weigh 30-40 lbs or more. Needs some minor mods to make it more usuable, like more bracing so I can back in to things, adding big shackles as towhooks, few other things . You get the picture.
