Went to go get some new meats yesterday, but the shop "couldn't get a lug nut off" and I wasted my time waiting for 2 hours. So, I went to the junkyard, picked up 4 gently used 235/75/15's and had them installed for less than half the cost of the new ones. Gave it a bath and put the flag on for a little photo shoot.

Kept hearing a Lancer evos blowoff valve whistling while driving home so I pulled up next to him, gave him a nod and revved it which made my belt squeak. I don't think he believed I had a turbo..

Stupid tarp trapped water and dirt on my fuel skid plate, so wire wheeled the new rust and re-primed the bottom. Cleaned, primed, and painted about half of the steel kneeguard that lives under the steering wheel (I swear anything metal on a Jeep will rust), about 50% done cleaning off my rear bumper. The outside is all sanded down to bare steel but the inside is super ****ing chunk land. I think I'll just get off what I can, throw some crap on it to stem the rot, then keep my eyes peeled for a real bumper.

First off, wanted to put this pic of my shiny new sway bar end link the other day...
Well set out today to knock out a few things before our vacation (750 mile trip, one way). I put in a new trans mount, re-aligned my tie-rod, put a new exhaust hanger on and then on with these...
Rotella T5 and a Puralator oversized filter. NGK V-Power plugs.
It was hot...
When I was doing the plugs I moved the upper hose out of the way. It started leaking. I didn't think much of it, then after running an errand it got worse. Stopped and grabbed a hose, a clamp and some anti-freeze glad I did...
Sucker fell apart, would've prolly grenaded on the highway somewhere in West Virginia or Kentucky lol.
Got it all buttoned up...
No more leak.

Used the comanche to haul some stuff today. Got some new wheels and tires of a 2013 dodge for my tow rig. Man it looks sweet now.
