Cut out some of the front floor on the driver side by my left foot. Rotted through right where the round drain hole is for about 4" forward and about 6" back. Have to get that patched up.

I had a smittybilt, blew the solenoid. Warranty was up after 30 days, smittybilt wasn't willing to work with me. Now I have one from harbor freight with 2 year warranty.

Reminds me of how we used to "rent" things from Walmart while in college.

Fixed the popping noise I had when braking...idk how, I inspected and cleaned my drums, re adjusted them properly (turn star wheel until you get resistance and then stop haha...rolling forward and back hitting the brakes hard doesn't do crap I found out)..and now it doesn't pop every wheel rotation while braking. Hope to get someone to help bleed brakes soon too...should be good to go after that.

src 8, Id rather have the option of taking it back. Now instead of being stranded and screwed I'll just be stranded...

1) Washed it
2) Reconnected left rear tail light (came unplugged somehow.. thankfully the fuel filler is easy to remove!)
3) Took off the 'nerf' bars; Ill probably put them back on later though, since my mother cant get in or out without them.
4) Took off the plastic rugged ridge rocker covers; since they were falling off anyways (does anyone know of anything to put where the flare extensions went to cover the holes, btw?)
5) (Not yet) Installed these lights: http://www.princessauto.com/trailer/...ry-spot-lights
6) Took off the doors and windows, and just cruised for slushies

Got my rough country 4" x-series lift with performance 2.2 shocks installed last night. Total time was about 10 hours. We ran into a couple snags. Left front lower control arm bolt was seized to the stock control arm so We had to torch the CA off of the bolt to retrieve the bolt. Also broke a rear upper shock bolt and had to drill it out and tap it. Throw in some dull drill bits and multiple distractions, it was a long night. Started around 7:30pm and got out of there around 5:15am. Only things I need now are front and rear end alignment and a motormount lift due to some new driveline vibes. I also found that my drivers side ball joints are shot and I need a passenger side axle u-joint so that's another few hundred I need to spend.

You can paint the Latex kind, but paint wont stick to the silicone kind.
