He hooked up one of the tow points for me in the front.
Had some problems bleeding the front brakes so we had to take the wheel back off and have a look.
Baically the crush washer on the line is not sealing it to the caliper I removed the crush washer and now it appears to not leak more testing will be done of course.

Ok ordering a hudfabxj rear bumper.
Found my tires for 850. All parts are coming together now just debating on going with a new lift kit and selling the current one. Or budget boosting current lift.

Ok well budget constraints have kept me from buying a front bumper to geaux with my HUDFABXJ rear tire carrier bumper.
So that got me thinking. I drive a Waggy... I like wood working...
How cool or lame would it be to mock up a wooden front bumper for a while for fun till i get my real bumper. Maybe add the bumper caps to it and what not just for extra personality!

Could not make it home without ripping off the fenders. Gonna need to trim just to drive it on road. Def in the market for more lift now.
