Finished up the control arm bushing replacement. Learned many things, like using a "come-along" to position the axle. Now to finish the driveway alignment and center the steering wheel.

You make a good point.

I have just recently retired a pair that I've had since I was in the 9th grade because I wore them out... but, I figure 11 years out of a pair of shoes ain't to bad.

I replaced them with the shoes that I have on my feet right now. They're certainly not the same quality but they're comfy.

Oh yeah, I put a tarp over my Jeep so the seats won't be wet when I to the ride this weekend.

Did you have a plastic box or something similar around the camera to protect it?

Also, it seems that the camera is getting mud on it but nothing stays on the lens, did you do anything, like treat it with something so nothing would "stick" to it?

Would really like to see how the camera was mounted and how you made the mount!
It's this camera in that case with the roll cage mount on it.

He didn't make it.

Didn't work for me, I ended up almost disconnecting the front axle. But in the course of things I learned what I should and shouldn't do. So when I get ready to do the bushings on my ZJ I'll be better prepared.
