Another week come and gone, a year too huh .. laughing1

Lots going on, put new lift glass shocks on the wifey's blazer, new brakes on the ass and do the oil change thang.

Going to do a 100K tune up and lube on my pick em up truck this week once dad gets back from Ks in it.

Should get the orbital for the buggy tommorow ( fingers crossed ) Need to do that and build a new tierod.

If I get some time Im going to put a timing light on the buggy and check a few other things, its gotten to the point of running rough. I know it needs plugs and such.

Next weekend is KOH Buggy work time !

Should be looking sexual on Matt's buggy come next Sunday !!

Ordering a New Axle Set.
Cleaning all the mud off it.
Going Back to work after 2 weeks off sucks.

going back to my real job after a monthish off. After work I need to cage out the TJ and do the backhalf on it. Got the lower tube figured out and bent, its just a pain to do right.
Wanting to keep the tub fully intact, and sealed off for storage. This makes putting tube in there and sealing it kind of a bitch instead of just putting tube where it goes and hanging skin.
burn **** for everyone that stops by for nothing :

keep building tools and **** for the shop

Dad just got back intown.... no his truck wont start... or rather it did then as he was backing out of the drive it died and we cant get it to restart.

The only good news is he did bring back a 4 speed for the rusty mistake !

Replace pinion bearing/s on front. Lack of fluid. And I need to check out my winch and see what broke on it.

I have an extra set of those fancy Yeller Accel plugs at the house you can have. I am going to a hotter plug and don't need these any more. I might even have a set of wires to wake those squirrels up. Seemed to tach up pretty well with Woodsy behind the wheel though. :dunno:
