    I might be able to disassemble and reassemble a x20 like Forrest Gump now!!!
    @shifty` i happened to find 4 tubes of super lube looking for a 4mm Allen!

    call me crazy but I wanted less of a wire mess with my winch, so I turned the winch 180 to have the motor terminals closer to my battery and solenoid box, I wanted the terminals facing towards the radiator but the casing had a dowel pin and only two positions to seat into, so this is where I’m at now. I also realize forward will be reverse when I click the controller, I think I can just swap two leads if I can’t remember that little detail….. 6492D2CF-1B16-4662-B407-94A9151AF927.jpg6DC764B7-85FA-4D4C-9AE1-6921117990BC.jpg

    So I ended up buying the Addco rear sway bar. Got that installed and removed the front sway bar. Went camping for a few days afterwards and gotta say it felt really good on the windy highway out to the desert. The rear end felt planted unlike before especially with all the weight back there. The front sway bar being gone didnt feel bad at all and dare I say it felt more stable with my rear sway bar only setup now.

    But removing the front sway bar or adding 33s or combination of the two definitely had me rub my fender a couple times coming down a little drop off with decent speed when i was offroading. So I got bored back at camp and removed my bolt on factory fender flares. Wasnt sure how Id like it but i much prefer the clean look of them removed!

    Decided to build a platform in the bed with some wood lying around the garage. Primarily to put boards under so they can stay protected and cool in the summer. Very simple design, not the strongest but it can hold probably around 200-250lbs before breaking/falling apart.

    Timing belt/water pump job almost done. Next is all fluids, filter, and lube. Does this throttle body housing look a little crummy to you? Only pic I have for now.

    I wouldn’t have guessed you were in a HOA there. Is all of Cali a HOA? Hahah
    We have some here, mainly in the newer track homes, and trailerhoods. We don’t usually get a tree because of climate beliefs(I’m full of shit hahha) but my neighbors do! And I snagged a smaller/ish one and burnt it in the bum barrel, I thought my next door neighbor had to of seen it, but he didn’t. The next time he saw me he’s like you should have taken ours!!!
