Rebuilt the transfer case. (still leaks afterward, but not as badly). Tried but failed to install transfer case position switch. Replaced all four shocks with Bilstein 4600s. Replaced front stabilizer bar frame bushings and stabilizer bar end links. Replaced passenger side front hub (Timken HA590032, same model as the driver's side hub, which I replaced in April 2015). Replaced all U-joints in front and rear driveshafts and front axle shafts. Replaced inner driver side axle half shaft since I bent the original one with my hydraulic press (trying to remove a U-joint). Had front and rear driveshafts balanced. Cleaned air filter.

Installed four Bully BBS-1103 steps, not too difficult. Takes about thirty minutes per step. These were a Father's Day present along with my wireless backup camera, phone holder, and some new micro USB cables.

Changed brake fluid (turkey baster) and bled all four brakes. Changed power steering fluid (turkey baster). Used ATF+4 this time for the power steering, and the pump sounds a lot happier.

Changed front and rear differential oil. New oil: AutoZone house brand 75w-90 conventional, non limited slip (the rear axle is not a limited slip axle, and fronts never are), $6 a quart. For the rear, I took the pumpkin off, drained completely, and cleaned inside really well. The original gasket was still on there, so probably the oil hasn't been changed before (good thing I'm doing it!) I made a new gasket with Permatex RTV and am waiting 24 hours to let it cure before refilling with oil. The front diff pumpkin seemed way too difficult to remove (I'd have to take off various bars and whatnot even to get at the bolts) so rather than taking the pumpkin off, I sucked ~2.3 qt of old oil out through the fill hole and refilled an equal amount. The old oil in both diffs was very dark and a fair amount of metal spooge on the magnets. New oil is very light straw color.

Changed transmission oil. New oil is Valvoline MTF Synchromesh. I drained through the PTO bottom bolt and filled through the shift tower, which let me put in 6 quarts (1 quart overfull, which is recommended for the NV5600, especially for towing). Old oil looked fine, not too dark.
