Weekend is over...what did you get done?

Squeaked the Jeep through state inspection on Saturday.

Discovered when I got home that the front axle is moving around due to shot control arm bushings. Time to order adjustables, lower and upper.

Did you order yet? Is the weekend of the 17th good for some welding for you?
 
Yeah, I got $250 for the header panel and both fenders.

Dude you rape the poor bastard unless he needed that color.......

I think I have that priced out at $150 new.

Not yet. I sent Andy an e-mail this morning to see if the bushings can be changed out for rubber ones later on down the road. Can't afford the rubber ones right now.

Weekend of the 17th is good for me.
 
Went to Mullins to install a dryer vent system for my mom. My brother in law was helping, and while we were under the house he accidentally bumped a water line. It busted and we basically took a shower while lying in the dirt. We got the dryer vent installed, then went to town for water pipe repair supplies, then it started raining when we got back. It was a wet, miserable day, but we got the job done and had a few good laughs in the process!
 
Which reminds me. I had a guy message me this morning wanting to know if I had a D35 with ABS laying around that I'd be willing to sell...

Yes! ... Wait, no...

It's been replaced with something much more beneficial to me...an 8.8

PAP in Winston-Salem may still have it...

That reminds me do you have spring perches?
 
Got a hatch strut ball off a ZJ at the junkyard yesterday. Used one of my old worn out ZJ struts and now my XJ has a gas strut lift hood. No more prop rod for me.
 
Have the full kit from Barnes sitting in my living room. Spring perches, shock mounts, u-bolts w/ hardware and u-bolt plates.

Sweet! SO unless something come up we will get that axle in on the 17th.

Their stuff is beef. Mark was laughing about just the size of the U-bolts. They are huge compared to the stock 8.8 u-bolts.

Sweet! May have to rig up the brakes a little bit. Meant to grab more of the parts off the donor exploder than I did, but I should be able to re-use what I have on the axle currently under it.

They are beef! And I got it for a pretty sweet deal too thanks to Black Friday deals! :)
