Yanked my dilapidated rear bumper. The driver-side zip ties broke again, and the passenger side mount sheared. I didn't mind it looking ridiculous, but I don't want it to cause an accident.

No, I don't lick fish.
Filled it full of boxes full of stuff from the old house, picked up new baby's crib from K-Mart, threw it on top of the roof rack and put the hand truck on top of it... got to the new house, open the garage door and proceeded to back in and forgot about the stuff on the roof rack. Would have been fine if the hand truck hadn't have been there... but taller than stock jeep, plus taller than stock roof rack, plus crap on top of it = FAIL
Tore off one of my roof lights - no biggie.

dropped my transfer case bled the brakes and pulled it out of the barn to drive it after installing my rc 4.5 inch lift, only to find that i still have t-case vibes and when the steering wheel is straight the tires are pointed about 10 degrees to the left >
driving down the road with the wheel 90 degrees to the right was a strange sensation. I posted a new thread asking how to fix the vibes and found out i need to spend 300-600 more dollars on an sye... not a good news kind of day

as far as the stearing goes anybody know what it is? my thoughts are maybe from moving the track bar since thats all i adjusted as far as front end other than control arms and springs or is it just in dire need of an alignment?

Went to U Pull N Pay and found a Rear overhead speaker bar, also got two vent windows that open and a newer looking dash bezel.
