Washing it(don't you hate it when mud/rust etc is always falling on you?!)
Click here for full res

in a couple days the adjuster had fallen and been riding around the drum brake...fun noises...

All the walk throughs I could find said you needed longer backing plate bolts and the only longer ones included were the black T-bolts so I used those. Let me know if I'm about to die...

Decided to replace both brake lines in the back

Went out to do the RTV on the diff covers and just had to mount the rotors, pads and calipers

Yeah yeah I'm missing something...it was late but I managed to remember before I went in.

It's a little more work with google photos than it was with Picasa.... but you have to click on the photo, then right click on the image and select "copy image address" and then paste the url in between [ img ] [ / img ] but without the spaces.

It's doable if you have patience and can manipulate it into using the desktop version of the site at the right time...lol definitely not ideal. I wish you could just click a button and generate the "thumbnail" with hyperlink to full size image.

Mint! Yeah, picasa was really easy to share... I guess Google was getting tired of so much bandwidth being used to hotlink photos so they made it harder to do with Google Photos
