Thanks

Well, I ordered an IRO track bar and a tune up kit today. My jeep's been running a little rough lately, and it's needed the track bar since my dad put the lift on 12 years ago.

I got to hang out with a good friend last night. She dubbed my jeep the Ghost Rider after seeing the new paint lol. Then she stuck glow stars on the ceiling....

12 years ago, wow. What kind of lift is it, or is it even a lift manufacturer anymore?

I have no idea. He got it from JC Whitney for $100 and it was allegedly a 4" lift. Coils, shorty AAL, and .75" blocks. Sitting at 2.5" now It rides nice though, I give it that.

that hurculiner came out really well! Guess i'm going to have to go with that kit after all. did it just take the one for all three sides? i'll be doing my bumpers/slider/pans/and rack when I get them. It'd be nice to buy one kit for all of them.

With one can, I did 2 coats on my jeep, and one coat in my grandpa's long box and I still have about a quart left.

Well, today my lower rad hose busted again Luckily my best friend's mom was able to help me get a hose from the local auto value. I was stuck with my other best friend though. And it happened in downtown Walker, MN so all was good. It took 3 hours to do everything, and I even got the system burped without pulling the temp sensor . Anyways, all is good now, and I have the correct hose in now. It was actually kinda fun lol

I woke up Thursday morning to a tune up kit on my doorstep. Gotta love UPS or Fed Ex whoever it was who shipped it The kit contained rotor and cap, and 7mm silicon wires. I can't say I noticed much improvement, but the old stuff was looking pretty rough. Slag all over inside the old cap. Anyways, she's running like a champ!
