    You have my blessing, my son...

    In all seriousness, I'd take it as a compliment that someone actually liked one of my ideas.
    Also, you live far enough east that our paths probably won't cross THAT often.

    I was about to say, I thought you did all your own work, hahaha. Kudos, dont ever give in.... like I did. I guess I figure that with this nice, cushy deskjob making a good living, I can pay someone with calloused, greasy, cut up hands to do all the work, so I dont dirty up my mouse and keyboard fingers anymore. Oh how I miss the orgasmic smell of a greasy engine and a freshly squeegied spray booth. *sigh*

    Enlarged garage.... ha! I am sure my HOA would love that.

    Sluggish you say? I thought you had a S/C. Should help out a bit at least. Maybe I am mistaken and you simply "need" one now.

    Nice job man. Totally digging the ride.

    I should have clarified that statement with "by comparison" ...the S/C still pulls long & strong, just not AS strong.

    Maybe in the next yr. or two, I'll explore locker(s) & a gearing change.
    I already have on board air available via a 50 cf scuba tank.
    But there is all sorts of stuff I "need" before that.

    Well, due to tie rod ends being in short supply, (apperently more than a few orders came in since Moab) it's taken me till today to do the install & B J flip.
    Here's a pic so you can see the difference between old (spagetti) & new (BEEFY !)
    Everything went along way easy thanks to Triathlete's instructional write up.
    I found the ultimate tool for getting the nut off the ball joint to be my 22mm stubby (of EGR nut fame) & a BFH.



    I'm inside where it's cool taking a break (getting close to 100 deg. out there)
    from this insane heat...I have NO idea how you Zonies, Floridanauts & others in warmer climates can handle it.
    I'm a big fan of global warming in the winter time when it's zero instead of -30... but this is nuts.

    Climatization is your friend! I'm at home in the heat (105+) just like I am freezing if its below 55. 30+ years in the desert will do that to you.
