Bought all the major recovery gear with shackles and hi lift but... Failed to install the new rear bumper due to those pesky rusted bolts. Tomorrow the angle grinder comes out to play

I ended up adding some brake fluid, noticed it was pretty low, plus I am leaking a little out by the driver side rear drum. I am assuming the heat is killing it but I will get that checked out next week. Also noticed I am low on coolant, so that is tomorrows task.
Change your rear wheel cylinder before it gets worse last thing you want is not being able to stop

Yanked the battery off the charger and tried to fire up the '01 today, crank no start. At least that's something. Got too dark to continue. Also wasps seem to have moved in by the headlights.

Noticed that it's low on coolant too... upper rad hose feels empty. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Didn't work on my jeep. But I helped a buddy start his motor swap in his yota. If that counts. We got it about 70% done today. Just have to finish the intake and clutch. Then drop it in.
