What did Earl do that warranted changing him out?
Earl had 10% left on the meter. He was still clean and showed a good engine (ran smooth after change).

TLDR: When I was 22 werkin' at DSS repairing delco radios and GM clusters I had a hillbilly as my master tech. Dude is a genius as he now runs repairs on Community heatlh hospital equipment in Indiana, has 2 engineering degrees, great fellow. So I needed an oil change on my 350Z and he said do it yourself. I didnt know how. I could turn a screwdriver but knew nothing of wrenching. He said "ill teach you how to change your Earl but you will never refer to it as oil ever again". DEAL. so in honor of the super brain hillbilly. We change Earl around thees parts. (you read that in a country tone didnt ya!)

Finally swapped out my front springs for rk, when installing the king bumps I did not take into account for the spring and had too much fun on the shake down run = collapsed springs haha Passenger side was all funky bowed in etc. also adjusted the front control arms out and adjusted caster to about 6 deg. Drives best it’s had in a while, need to get axles squared up at a shop as I don’t have the space time and tools to do it to my ocd standards. Some pics of Sunday run with the new setup. Looks like I can get another inch or so of up travel. The passenger side still has more down travel togo in the pic. Best flex I can do in the local desert no fork lift available

I installed a wireless garage door opening and closing system, after which I took a nap.

I can’t believe you got that all done in one session. I would have had to break that up into two days! Awesome!!
Sometimes, you just have to roll up your sleeves. :)

Now, after a long weekend of hijinks with fellow-minded owners, I do in fact have some depot-level maintenance to perform on the Ural. That job, I can't fake. A two-day plan may in fact be needed.

I've had the same experience. They do vibrate at speed, but are better than running without. Viewing angle for the passenger side is fine
with 2 door smaller top have you tried taking off yourself? or is it still a 2 person job
I'll give you my thoughts. In an emergency I could do it by myself but the weight of the glass makes it awkward. My dolly flips it on its back to conserve floor space. I wouldnt want to try that solo.
