I sunk mine to the axles trying to pull a durango out of some thick mud. Had to get pulled out by a 79 dodge 1 ton with a winch. At least there wasn't a Ford or Chevy in sight

Drove down to VA to get another set of leaf springs. I got 2 Rubicon Express 3.5" leaf packs, almost new (just a little surface rust), $175. Put a little over 150 miles on her today, but I got my Rusty's stickers in the mail. Their "handful" of stickers gave me 15 decals for $12. I'm quite satisfied with my purchase.

I cut out my rotted stock muffler (rotted on the inside, clean on the outside) and put in a Thrush glasspack.

Well I decided to pull a leaf out of my rc pack. Sit almost perfect now. boomerang shackle should put me where I want to be. Probably going to have to build some traction bars though to take care of any axle wrap

Today I switched out the...
T-Stat
T-Stat housing
Water Pump
Drive Belt...


Today was NOT a good day :-) It took me way too long and ran into way too many snags.... now that I have everything on I realized I need a new water pump inlet hose... so as soon as it comes in I get to take the water pump off again :-)

RTV became a close friend of mine this morning :-D

Heres the new one compared to the old one

Fixed my heater. Really glad it was a simple fix. I was afraid the switch fries this year too but just a blown fuse bc of the power wire to re heater control unit got scraped by my radio.

Installed a Rusty's 2 inch budget boost with AAL and coil spacer. Sits great and couldn't be happier with it. Very nice lift for a reasonable price.
