Adjusted my track bar today, steering wheel is straight and most of my death wobble is gone, about to remove and replace my destroyed cat.

Will post pics later

Went offroading today,
Had to move three trees off the path
One being a dead box elder, pretty light
Other being a huge oak, had to use 4low on that.
Then went and played in some mud, did extremely well

Also got him checked out and the gash in my unibody patched at garretfab.
Death wobble was narrowed down to my single shear tre.

So tonight I ordered the double shear upgrade.

Also got a $100 amazon gift card.
Used the card to ordered a putco harness and some rampage headlights from amazon.
