it I didn't care anymore. Over the years the cracks grew and the rock chips became more numerous, and I started thinking about replacing it. One day, while driving along a gravel highway, a passing truck kicked up a big rock that smashed the outer glass, inner glass, and punctured the laminate in between. Now I MUST replace it. Year and a half later, I get a rock chip in the new windshield, but at least that was repairable.

One of them I put a new battery terminal on, started it, flexed it, got a little cozy with a tree on the front. The other, I put the track bar in, the diff cover on, the front driveshaft in, brakes back on, sway bar on, adjusted the rear shackles to give a bit more lift with a little worse shackle angle, got bolts for the 3 link and got it as close to done as I can without the bushings for the lower links.
No, I don't lick fish.

Tightened up my LCAs on the passenger side, the UCAs on both sides, and torqued down on the passenger side tie rod end nut.... smooth as butter now.
