Finally got around and fixed my loose tilt steering column. After renting steering wheel puller and lock ring removal tool got it all tore down with nothing to drive I fine it has reverse torque(don't know what else to call them) bolts need to be tightened. Used good old back yard ideas!!!! Hammered a regular socket on it, it worked. Now just need to get use to driving again with out the steering wheel flopping around.

 

We took a road trip, I got back to buffalo at 3 this am and went to work at 7. The whole story will be in my build soon. Damages include all 4 shocks both rear leafs the electrical connection for the fuel pump above my rear diff, the ecu and gauge cluster. And all of that damage happened Saturday morning at 10 am

 

Wow, those NY pot holes aren't messing around.

 

it happened in Tennessee lol

 

It happened in Kentucky lol

 

close enough

 

pics or it never happened at all

 

That's how I always did it

 

.

 

And look where that got you! You drive a Barbie Jeep lifted to Bro Height

 

With no shocks!

No, I actually drive a stock '86 J10, and I'm working on a Barbie Jeep lifted to bro height

 

Very close guess. Yes, not trimmed (will be happening sooner now). Yes flexed far. Wasn't going too fast, I just turned the wheel and that's when it bit the fender. But trimming the fender will mostly fix the dent. LOL

 

Fixed the trailer hitch. The metal in the rear cross member had gotten a little thin and one of the rear most bolts had pulled through. My answer to the problem was to cut out the bad metal and weld in some 1/8" steel angle. Took longer to get the rear bumper off than it did to do the repair since the hitch is in the way of the bumper mount bolts and I didn't feel like fighting with the hitch and skid plate just to get the bumper off

While i have the bumper off I might as well clean it up and give it a new coat of paint tomorrow

 

Meh... drove it to work.

 

Finally installed new Trac bar and mounting bracket.
