Built a drivers side rock slider out of some free c-channel. It's 3/16" wall but damn near a 1/2" in the corners. I think it'll hold up well.

My new headlight switch from quadratec finally arrived today!! But after installing it, my lights still don't work

All the bulbs are new, I replaced all the fuses(even though they weren't popped), replaced all the relays, and all that was left was the switch, but still no glory....

The headlights will come on but none of the other marker/parking, or turn signals. And If i position the switch just right(in between positions) all the lights will come on

Changed the 35" tires for the original 29/30" and drove her to the inspection, only to find out that she was registered with the 35" (he actually put 38" on the paper he gave me). Result: Need to change the exhaust (I suspect he was hammering on it and made a hole) and get a new fire extinguisher and come back with the 35" tires... Not a great day!

Found why my amp wasn't getting power and fixed it. Tonight I'm taking off my bumper to sell and will be buying a new one by the end of the week. New winch should be here in a few days too gotta love the service from r.c. my winch was part of a small batch that had brake issues so they're sending me a new one for free and I get to keep the one I have that still pulls just fine.

Locked up the brakes and almost wrecked trying to avoid those damn kids down my street again. Their ****ing parents don't give a **** about them, this happens every day (Not to me, i hear tires screeching from that direction every day). I'm so close to calling child services.

I pined for mine.
Still needs to be driven from Maine down to me in South Carolina.
Turns out my front drivers side brake was toast... and my differential fluid has metal in it.
I think its going to be a while before it gets here.
Good news is my dad is kind enough to install my A?C. When it gets here Im going to need it.
