So I bought power steering hose, fluid, and bunch of tools, and didnt actually accomplish anything

Need to replace my power steering hose.
Drove a total of twenty miles from parts store to parts store to finally buy it, then bought a wrench set because I didnt have the right size, and now realize I cant seem to actually turn the wrench on the lower connection for the lack of room...
Anyone got ant suggestions?

Hit the local JY that's actually open on Saturday to do some shopping. Ran out of time before I could find upgrade fuel injectors. However, I did track down a GM 2500 van with the 5.0L V8 that has a bigass canister air filter:



Pinched that thing, took it home, tested my new electric impact wrench by breaking one of the bolts that held my stock air box down, and started planning how I'm going to mount this thing...



Home Depot tomorrow to buy some fittings and elbows

Just need one more 90 to make the connection to the air box. 3" ABS piping bedlined on the exterior part. Once the underhood is assembled I will cover it in the heat reduction tape for CAI's.

Installed a Wolo air horn today. Part #400 $28 The little one sounds Euro and the big one is just really loud! Plenty sufficient for me. Just wish Autozone had it so I could've used my $3.xx credit plus get another point towards my next $20

Took the 102" whip on magnet mount on the roof down today. It kept getting knocked loose and hasn't worked since LAST winter! Mounted it directly to the rear bumper for now until I have money to install dual ball mounts. <--necessary NO, but i love the look.

Mounted my Hi-Lift to my sub box with the 4xRack mounts. Now it will help hold stuff down in the back in the event of a collision/roll over.

SUMMARY: didn't really do much just hung out in the sun and played with the JEEP in the drive way since I don't have gas money to wheel for a while.
