replaced the pressure line on the power steering on tuesday, it had a hole in it that would **** fluid everywhere when turned full lock in any direction. lucklily o'reilys by my hose had one in stcok. when i loosed the fitting in the pump it took that whole threaded piece of the pump out with it and now that part leaks so i get to take it apart again this week and fix it

on the other side i got the pitman arm finished up this week, all thats left is to clean and paint the last caliper and ill have all the parts. i just need stuff to quit breaking so i can finally get this upgrade done and worry about saving for the 5.3

-fixed my squeaky rear brake, i realized i put the outer pads on the wrong sides when i did my rear disc swap so it was a bear to bolt the caliper on and required a lot of wiggling which caused the pad clips to bend thus causing the pad to wiggle and squeak, took about 45 min and some brake grease and no more squeaky

-installed new black one piece lug nuts, old once were getting hard to put on and the caps were missing off some of them

-fixed my exhaust from the accident. ratchet strapped it in a few strategic and bent it back where it belonged and bent out the crumpled part of the tip, not too pretty but will be going away in 6 months any ways

-assembled the passenger side wj swap components on the bench to make sure everything cleared like it was supposed to. all i needed was was 2 washers to space out the caliper from the knuckle properly, much less than i thought i would
