Let me apologize for not checking the wheels size yet, but planning the business takes most of my time.
Nevertheless I have managed to get few small things completed: Rear axle cleaned including all threads - residue after PD process; Rear oil seals are pressed in, diff lock mech painted; Also




And from yellow to orange :thumb2
