I have had my Yellow X up on jack stands for the past week for a lot of maintanance and repairs.

Cranked up T-bars, again

New, used half shafts, both sides. (did the front brakes, bearings and new hubs two weeks ago)

Removed shot and worn stabilizer bar bushings...still waiting on new ones.

Installed new rear brakes

Repaired my melted locker line that mysteriously hit the muffler and melted in two, funny, it fused the line, so I'm not sure when that happened.

Drilled and tapped a larger vent for the breather in the rear diff and ran a line made out of pressure washer hose (it's yellow) up to the top of the tail light. Should be high enough.

Treated any frame rust spots with POR.

Changed the engine oil, which I never do...cost me $5 less than at the dealership. Last time I do that.

Still need to fix the tire carrier. I bent it back into shape and painted it, waiting for it to dry.

Need to finish fixing the e-brake, which I haven't used in three years.

Man you have been busy. I hope it is as nice out up there as it is here.

Nice having two X's?

Me I just cleaned the garage, planted some new plants, and painted the floor. Next weekend I will be tearing up the front weeds and trying to grow some grass.

That sucks because it is probably rather large. Mine is like 400 sq. ft. 20 Minutes with a tiller and an hour raking I should be good to plant some seed.

Bonus you do have a tractor.

Damn!

I was pissed when I found a squirel had nested under my lawn mower over the winter. Another item I need to address the water leaks and issues with my garage. One good wind and it is going over.
