Did an oil change, and cleaned my NSS! Finally have reverse light again only to find out my tire carrier blocks 90% of the light. :-( Also ordered some Cragar v-5 15x8 with 3.75BS to get the 33's out of the back seat. Can't wait!

Edit - Also welded a broken exhaust hanger

Luckily, my NSS wasn't broken. Just really gummed up from years of use. I had to pry one of the contacts out with a knife.

I started fabbing up a new set of sway bar discos. Just didn't like the sway bar relocation brackets that came with the lift kit. I will post pics when they are finished.
