Since it was going to be 70 today, I decided to take the day off work and do some maintenance. Changed the oil, oil filter and plugs. Cleaned and oiled air filter. Checked all fluids. Replaced the track bar. Checked the torque on all suspension bolts. Inspected brakes. I also washed it so it should rain shortly

Went wheeling yesterday. Developed acute case of DW on the way home, anytime I broke 50mph.
Spent today going though everything and retorquing bolts. I think I need new bushings, shocks and Damper. Since $ are tight, I ordered shocks and removed the spacers from the front coils, back to 3.5" of lift.

I put a fancy new Aussie Locker sticker on my back right window. It goes great with my newly locked 8.25.
