Got my crash report!

It was just sitting outside my work minding its own business when some chick backed into it pushing the finders back against the wheels. I guess that will teach me to wait until I could afford the lift before getting it. If that was done she might have hit tires.

The place that i bought them from. They installed them and parts/labor have a lifetime warranty. Thats the only reason i had them do that so i can go play and not have to worry bout breakin parts and the bank.

I spent the day installing a new AC compressor. Works great. Just close the valves so all the pressure is on the other side of the lines. Remove old compressor, install new compressor and make sure to fill new compressor with 8oz bottle of compressor oil. Connect the lines, open valves and voila! No more bad a/c clutch. Now I have wonderful cold air.

Next I installed my JCR Stage 2 rock rails. I have frame strengtherners so I had extra steel to drill through. What a day. I previously coated the rock rails with Herculiner.

So you didn't have to drain to refrigerant to do it. My bearings started rattling up yesterday and I need to change mine up asap

Torqued all the front suspension bolts, replaced the track arm and cured the death wobble this week...

Also driveway rattle-can painted the rig black - now all the same color.
