Used my super market points and got 87octane for $1.87 per gallon today. $38 filled me up from empty! Feels like it's 1999 again

Oh believe me I did. Gonna have help tomorrow so I can whack it with a sledge.

Why did they have to make the ball joints so stupid to get out

Try the air hammer.

Why did they make them so stupid to get out? So they don't come out stupidly when you're driving

Lol.


Edit: Just don't whack the help with the sledge.

well yea but why do you have to have a long throat ball joint press to press it out the right. If the thing would line up going through the empty upper ball joint hole it would be infinitely easier, not too mention probably help the lower destroying setup. Or maybe im just being silly

Just got done painting my axles/diff stuff/drive shaft matte black. It isn't the best job, but it looks 100 times better. Used Rustoleum primer in some spots and the Rustoleum matte black.

Maybe putting my dual RC steering stabilizer kit on tomorrow if there's time.
