Put it on there and toque down til it pops off or you can't possibly turn it anymore, if it doesn't come off... wait a minute it will. Sometimes its gotta sit a minute but it pops off.
Today I worked a lil more on re-doing the tinted tails while playing with my daughter. She picked up a screwdriver and tried to take off my rear hatch bump stop. Lol
I also soaked down shock bolts with PB, hoping to replace those ancient metal shafts you cant call shocks tmrw possibly.

Rusty's 6.5 leafs ($200 w/ less than 2k on them)
RC shocks ($116)

Everything except the leafs were new. Took me from Sept 9 to Oct 10 to buy each part lol. Spent a total of $802. Now for long arms and a cage! haha And thanks! 33x12.50s looks a bit small, but might be nice on the trails.
Thanks man! I'm loving it!

Water pump, intake gasket, and freeze plugs. The PO plugged up the freeze plug with job weld and stop-leak. Coolant flush pushed all that away and it started pouring coolant all over the place. Spent the best part if my day searching for freeze plugs as its not something people change out on a regular basis.
