Grrrr ... driving around and I hear a clunking sound and when I get out I see my rear drivers shock has disconnected at the body. Thankfully the nut just got rattled loose and fell off so it should. .. hopefully. .. be a simple fix.

Not a whole lot to update. I'm working on some 33" tires still. Once this check comes in ill be getting them. I helped a couple xj owners from the local club this past weekend. Helped one Guy put in some rough country relocation brackets and the other Guy we wired in some lights. Good times.

I got a full set of tj flairs for a 12 pack of budlight. I've got another set of rears I can get for free if I want them. Now I'm trying to decide whether to use two sets of rear tj flares or just the full set that I have.

Thanks man.
It is usually a good time. We tend to gravitate towards each other at club meetings too.

I got the front fenders trimmed up a bit for some more flex room. I also had a buddy help me put a hitch on. Man what a nightmare. Took three hours mostly because of a dumb stud on the passenger side that did not want to move. But its on now so I finally have a recovery point.

I was supposed to he going to Shoe Creek tomorrow but funds aren't really allowing for the gas. Sad day I still haven't gotten this thing on the trail.
