My hat is off to you! Been there - done that. Work all week, school 4 nights, and 4 kids at home to feed. Tough to get through. Best of luck on finals!

Likely gonna fix the alternator ground (rubber torn) and put some dielectric grease on my spark plugs; Autolites like getting stuck to the wires.

Cut the front of the plastic wheel well covers finally to match the completely open approach angle. Also, less rattling from the wind.

Pics now:

Also removed the sway bar as doing a trail maintenance this weekend. I want to feel what the rig does now. Already, I'm like wow....that's a pretty decent swell. lol

Those of you that have removed the sway bar and said no difference in response....are full of crusted up poop.

Lookin' good!


My neutral safety switch "mod" came loose yesterday, resulting in the truck not turning over, after a few minutes I figured out what it was and put the zip-tied bolt back through it, and drove away.


Then later the clip for my clutch master cylinder push rod came off, so my pedal was no longer attached to the rod, leaving me stuck in 2nd, but I pulled off into a parking lot and put the clip and washer back on, and drove away again. It's nice to know your way around the things you drive, so when something goes wrong it's easy to know exactly what happened.

Just swapped out my old spark plugs, man that was a pain in the a$$! I'm pretty sure I'm never gonna install another set of shorty headers on one of my vehicles again!
Anyway now she running a lot smoother

Well, since I like the Torque app, I decided to make a mount out of the unused belt clip that came with my Otterbox for my Droid X. Mounted it to a Ram Mount with two screws, so it can now be suction cupped to my windshield. So now I can monitor my Torque gauges like one of the higher dollar units

Too bad I have to use my phone to take the pictures or I'd show it mounted with the phone lol





Excuse my dash. Its a mess. Not gonna put it back together until I find a new subframe.

Painted my wheels black, steel wool'd the crap out of the center caps and lug nuts to make them shiny again. Looks much better to me! I hated the chrome wheels. Tomorrow I might do the other side





Cell phone at dusk, my apologies. Will get better pictures soon.
