It went to Pull A Part on a shopping trip to rebuild the front steering. Picked up a ZJ pitman arm, a set of tail lights, rear hatch struts, a factory cup holder, vacuum canister, 2 small consoles, and 2 rear wiper arms.

felt like my fingers were going to freeze off. Finally got it done though lol.

I wanted to do the rear diff today too but the thought of smashing my fingers on something when its this cold made me change my mind.

Eh, those bolts aren't bad, they're really not that tight. Messing with coolant and a t-stat and injectors in the cold SUCKS.

Changed the oil today... 6 quarts of Amsoil = $$$... But worth it! Also took off the roof rack cross bars, since I never use 'em.

Oh, and noticed my tailpipe broke. Crud.

Was realy bored and broke now that finals are over. Despite that it's <20 degrees in the garage I decided to see what I could come up with out of all the crap I have hidden around the Man Cave...

It all started off just wanting to fix the controler for the passenger side mirror.

I need to get a camera that I can control the flash and exposure to get pictures that do a good job of showing the effects. They did a pretty good job of lighting up the turning arc for 4 wheel'n speeds...

yesturday my battery died.


so i went out and bout a opt yellow top, new starter, new alt and changed all of them.

then today i started on my home brew EMT roof rack. Got everything cut out and just need to sand and paint and install them now. could have at least bolted up everything but then it started to rain and i dont have a garage . Now my truck starts right up and i dont have to worry about any of these parts for a while.

also but a mag light and put it in between the passenger and counsole fits great and cheap easy mod it u call it that.
