Got tree saver and 8000lb comalong for $20 with coupon at harbor freight so when by myself I can recover till I ger my bumper and winch. Dont u laugh or say you red neck or I'll beat u with my leg hahaha I like to go without depending on other. Mainly cause if I get a hair up my but to go I go and I hate having to pass something up yea its no winch but its better than nothing and now I can recover myself already tried it out winch ed booger 10 ft up a hill in back yard using tow rope and tree in back yard worked great. Slower then electric winch but worked great so I'm very happy and it fits under back seat

Did front brakes today took two hrs everything was seized from sitting. So long and I was 1 panic brake or less from complete failure. The roters were so bad I thought I had drilled and slotted ones and pads.....what pads what was left turned into powder in my hands. And I'm not abit exadgerating hahahahahaha
I'm glad I hat spare brake parts from my old zj cause I would have been screwed lol used a bottle of wdw professional and the rest of my new torch gas and still broke crap
The passengers side had the shoes metal groved out the rotor so that side had no brake and drivers side was right there.....the back needs done but ran out of light and now ere near as bad
Tom arrow getting my new well used rims so I got to pick em up then hope to get tyranny filter and fluid changed then I hope to get the rear track bar beacket in......booger feels and drives completely different as u could imagine
