Finally picked up my roof sliders and installed them:



The front bar has four tabs welded to it for lights, I'm planning on getting 4 IPF 968 lights eventually. This thing is rock solid

Well got some new front bumper caps for 25 bucks. Locked myself out of my jeep. Keys in the ignition with my phone on the seat in the driveway. Couldn't find my spare anywhere. Had to call a locksmith. That was 45 bucks. Then when installing the end caps I was smacking the bumper a bit with a rubber mallet. End up breaking my passenger light turn signal housing under the headlight. Gotta replace that now.

Had the same problem with my 78 Dodge. What I did was cut a slot into each lock nut with a dye grinder all the way through to where you would have a small opening on each one then just spun them off with a 4-way. It was time consuming but they came off, you could use something bigger to speed up the process if you wanted.

had the same problem with a car I bought. I ended up using a small chisel and beat them until they ended up coming off. Took forever but got them off.

After work, I replaced my wires with Accel, plugs with E3, replaced cap and rotor, replace heater valve, fixed the nose of the truck (it was smashed) Also, my exhaust fell apart earlier this week so I took an old Flowmaster I had laying around and made it work... though I don't really notice much of a sound difference... but I haven't driven it yet either. Tomorrow I will replace my battery tray

Still love her anyways and always good times.
