No... I have a crack in my radiator, so I filled it up.... Forgot to put it back on -.- Got home the thing was spewing everywhere

Edit: I have to go back to work tonight, so hopefully its just sitting in the parking lot... But I doubt it.

I mounted it on the skid plate underneath. I used a tiny tripod and crammed it into a hole I found and the secured it with some twine. Kinda ghetto but it turned out to be a pretty cool view. I'm thinking about putting a permanent mount under there. Maybe I'll built a lil cage to put around it or put it in a protected spot.

I replaced the hatch struts on my '97. Talk about money well spent! Got a pair of Monroes from rockauto.com for less than the local parts stores were asking for one.

I'll have to look into those.. mine were kinda meh before, but now that I've got some stuff mounted up on my molle rack, the age of the struts is starting to show.

did manage to fiddle with it a bit today tho.. got all the fender flares off, and removed the bumper caps. also found a few more dings that I must've picked up at tahuya. made me chuckle

next up, some sweet cut and fold action!

Left the Cherokee at home, sold my Ranger to a buddy and drove my Camaro to work.

Hey, I mentioned the Cherokee, so it counts.

Why would you put the bump stops in the freezer?

They shrink a little and also get a little more rigid making the install easier.

You only need to freeze them for a day or so I just never wanted to take my coils off to do it.
