Now I'm dealing with a drum brake adjustment issue, a chirping sound in my drivers side front slotted rotor and an odd vibration in my front end at 50-53 MPH.

And I've dealt with this vibe before. It's the front tires out of balance. And I still have an oil and transmission fluid leak.

Well it started out as a little upgrading and a little maintenance and then became "well while I'm there I might as well do this" so now, the transfer case got new seals and I clocked it, new cross member, long arm 3 link, new shocks, springs, bumpstops, brake lines, track bar, sway bar links and bushings. Basically a whole new front suspension.
I got my brake problem mostly fixed. still have to take apart the drivers front brake assembly. Its chirping and annoying the fuhk out of me. I have to find the time to fix it.... and get rid of the shimmy caused by my front tires. I'm hoping its just the tires out of balance.

Well its not the first time its happened to me.... I think its because I'm too lazy to get my other 31" tire mounted to the rim that my 30" is currently mounted on so that the front tires are the same size. I think it could be causing the tires to keep going out of balance.

Well i got this LED light yesterday.

Should I mount it in the front or rear bumper? I'm thinking front because I was thinking about running these lights in the rear bumper.

Well looks like my A/C is acting up. I'm going to get it professionally looked at.... And I'm going to get my front tires re-balanced and re-torque my track bar bolts.
Other than that I'm stumped on what mod to do next.

Well my build is going on hold for the time being. My father was admitted into the hospital. He is 84 and fell in the driveway. He ended up breaking his left hip and he almost went into respiratory arrest in the ambulance. He is now on oxygen. And he is not doing very good right now.
