Swapped out rear axle and sagging leaf springs without breaking any weld nuts loose. Although one bolt was frozen in leaf bushing metal sleave got it out without cutting by using jet-lube 769, working the bolt back and forth and using a pry bar. Felt very fortunate.

I installed my new bored out throttle body today. Wow does it make a huge difference! I bought it from a guy on the forum who does his own work on a lathe I think

Fixed the back seat compartment latch so it doesn't bounce and thunk every time I hit a bump. Investigated broken foglights. The only thing I determined is that I'm not lucky enough for it to be a fuse... or anything easily accesible, for that matter.

Got 3/4 ton chevy recovery hooks, have to make a custom mount but they are strong. pulled my fubar bumper, took off the fubar splash guard, attempted to bend the bumper back into shape. not happening. With the warped plastic trim crap under the bumper removed it looks a lot better now.

Today I called 4WD to price out two custom D44! God im enjoying my new employment! Wasn't the today but for the last two weeks I've cleaned my EGR valve... pain in the butt, re-readjusted the NSS, ordered my extended gas tank from GenRight, and picked up the JY hemi from a crashed 05 ram to rebuild and swap into my 99 ram! I will upload photos as soon as I get to my computer. Im writing this thanks to the wonderful CF android app!

lost two more pieces of body molding yesterday, just the front left fender flare and right rear bumper, so I removed the pieces of metal that hold the flares on inn prep for trimming fenders this weekend
