These and that...
Finally got my rear shocks on. I wanted to get the Rancho RS5000's but couldn't justify the price right now. Got some other stuff that needs tending to first. So I picked up a pair of Gabriel Ultra's. When I took off the old ones, one shock didn't even expand, the other one crumbled in my hand trying to pull it off. Other than that, the whole process was pretty easy. I also made me a nifty storage box for my cargo area to hold all my stuff.
I know the Gab's aren't the best, but boy what difference they made after I put 'em on. Can't wait to get the front one's done.

Swapped the hardware for stainless, lights are actually cheap and I get the plastic housings so no rust issues, cheap to replace a broken lense, the roofs have been up almost 3yrs and still working. There are better quality lights available but I choose to flood em with volume. Angle all the fogs just a bit to the right. Pics of before during after, if I didn't flub the upload.

Took her out to play some! Beautiful day in NEPA! I need a lift and tires so bad! She amazed me for stock with 215 tires on her! Hopefully in the next couple of weeks I can order at least a 4.5 inch lift. Then some 33s!

Finished the brake job from hell... Had a rusted rear brake line that led to replacing EVERYTHING brake related, from the proportioning valve back, including drums and wheel cylinders. Oh, and every bolt, too! Rust never sleeps, but maybe I can get it to take a nap for a bit...

Installed trailer hitch and put on my pintle hitch. Taking off the rear bumper was a P.I.T.A.! And there are only 5 bolts holding on the bumper now because it is impossible to get to the other 3 with the hitch installed 
. oh well. Im gona be taking it off and putting a tube bumper on eventually anyways right? Less bolts for me to have to take off again! Also put on new rear break shoes. Now i can stop again!
