Got all of the old steering stuff out this afternoon. Gonna get up bright and early and put all the new stuff in. New steering damper didn't come with hardware and the bolt on the old one is stripped so the castle nut just twists.

Goodyear wranglers are only $64 at walmart for 235/75/15 so gonna go grab a set tomorrow also. Getting there. Ready to go wheelin' with some of yall.

Good morning. I'm a little sore today. My tractor flipped on me last night and threw me off. Just left it there going out to try and recover it.

I read somewhere in the build threads, that loosening the bolt on the track bar where it goes on the frame, just a bit, will solve that problem with after market parts. Something about being over torqued. Just a suggestion.
