Washed and waxed after hitting a deer. Fixed a leaky valve stem, gad to use my moms car to break the bead on the tire. She stood watching in fear even after I assured her that I would not break her car....
again LOL. Also did some work to my busted up front fender...it had a rough encounter with a tree a few days ago. I'm not too worried about it. I have plans to cut them anyway this summer. Also smoked my 3rd brake light. Wow busy day

You'd most likely be better off with full springs that give you that lift height, pucks don't allow you to flex any more than normal

I helped change a blown tire at 1:30 AM, on I-475 in Toledo, coming back home from a day trip to Detroit with my Mom and her BF in 10 degree weather, with a 30MPH wind and Lucas County under a severe freeze warning.

A while ago I saw a post on here about someone who knew a JF member that worked for IRO and gave discounts to jeepforum members. However I couldn't find the post. Does anyone know who the member is?

Had me laughing hard at that image of your mother standing there doing that. I know it all too well:
"Christopher, are you sure you know what you're doing, [covers her mouth with hand] oh no... oh jeez... oh dear me..." etc etc and so forth, hahaha.

alrighty todays been a busy day now that im back home from a quick trip to VA.
i installed my new V3 headlights and in the process blew a fuse  , replaced it i have it wired so the 3 led's blink with the turn signal and the halo's come on with the low beams. only took me about 2 hours once all was said and done.
So i figured while i had the grille out i would re paint it just to touch it up. I left the bumper alone because hopefully my shocks will be in this week and i can go ahead and put my lift on as well as the winch bumper i have. still winch-less though  its a work in progress
while it was still light out i touched up the black cladding on the back hatch as well as the nite-shade on the tail lights.
All in all its been a good day. But it will get better once its lifted 
oh and ill get some night shots in a little bit when i head out to see if i need to adjust them

finished installing the BB on my Laredo! the back was much easier!! had to be creative and make my own spring compressors though. also painted the silverblades and they turned out great!! thinking about adding a BB on my limited to make the front 8.5" of lift and the back to 7.25" of lift.. anyone else done this?
