Did a couple of minor things. Rehabbed the NSS. Now I have working back up lights that I can upgrade. Also re-grounded one of my headlights to cure a dim one.

After i waterproofed my patches a couple days ago I got serious and bought a rustys 3.5" lift full pack off a guy who only had it on a year before he got into an accident and bent his frame. I got that with new upper, lower control arms with the control arm drop bracket off him for $280. Going to install it within a couple days and getting a set of 5 31" bf goodrich a/ts with a little over 50% tread left for $250 on monday. I'd say I made quite the savings, especially since I know how long those tires can last with proper maintenance. Now I just need to buy spacers so my wheels don't rub

my "free" yellow top turned out to be not so free it blew up my $80 battery fighter (charger) because of 2 bad cells. Sooooo ..... Today I went out and got a brand new 100AH gel deep cycle battery to put in the back, now just need a new battery box

Used it to tow my trailer home. I got a call at work saying a guy I know was getting rid of some stuff. I went over and he gave me a recovery strap, tow strap, two jerry cans. He also gave me a bunch of tubing along with some thick angle iron with a large piece of 1/4" steel and a full 4'x10' sheet of 16ga then about a quarter sheet of 16ga and some thick channel iron. He also gave me 4 leaf packs all for a 12 pack of mountain dew!

Pulled the tranny pan for a fluid and filter change. Didnt look too bad for having 100k on the oil and filter screen. What a pain though, that dipstick tube was a PITA. And I forgot to put those two little magnets back in the pan. Oh well , they're stayin out.

Cleaned up a bunch of vacuum lines. Flushed the rad, and heater core. Thinned the oil up a bit, went a little overboard with Lucas........lesson learned. New pvc elbows, and grommets. Cleaned, and oiled my air filter. alot more little crap.
Just ignore that foward pcv. Forgot to put breather on I guess
I know my plug wires look like ****, I didnt care and was pissed I had to take off my accell's. Hopefully ill be able to replace them soon and put my accell coil back on

Washed, removed the stupid rubberish mat thing under the front of engine, prepped the door moldings, and stripped the bolts (or threaded holes) for drivers front bumper cap.
Bedlining the door molding right now. Its 11 AM here so I put a light in my little portable garage lol

Its a two piece tube that separates about 6 inches up from the pan. The upper part is male with an o-ring on it. Once you unbolt the pan you can wiggle it and pull it down with some force it will pop out. Took me a while to figure it out b/c I didnt know how the two were connected so I was trying to b careful. The upper tube is bolted to the engine up in the engine bay. I removed it so i could lower the pan and tube as one to get a hold of the pan to pull on it to seperate them.
