Heres your other friend...


When your going to mod something, spray this on all the bolts a week before. I usually did it every other day. It helps out a lot.

Ahead of you on that one too, sprayed everything I could get to for 3-4 times the week before. The problem bolt was hidden under the rear control arm which I had to remove to even get to the nut. So it didn't get sprayed down for a week like everything else.

So that's what a Sawzall looks like !!!
Someone once told me I needed to get one of those... Maybe something I should consider getting ???? Crazy
Hmm, don't know what I'd use it for, wonder what I could use it on, the wheels are turning....
I better not think too hard on this or I will really think I need to get one Rolling Eyes

Got a rear tire carrier and a front HD tow hook bracket tonight. Looks like I have another weekend of installs.

Once again I manage to make a 1 hour project last 4 hours and 2 trips to Home Depot for more nuts and bolts.

But at the end of the day I got that big spare tire out of my cargo area.

Nice man. I wish I had the cash to shell out for a rear tire carrier. I have mine up the on Load Warrior. I can no longer put it underneath, it hits the brake line. Looking good for sure. I might have a local guy fab me out a carrier, but I really want to get a rear ARB locker on.

Decisions, decisions...



Its a little bit of a struggle to get it down. But for now it works.

Very Happy

No, it's easy to get it down, just getting it up there is the problem Smile

Yeah I've been looking at some lockers as well, may end up with an Aussie in the rear. I can't get a roof rack, wanted to until I put my lift on. I won't fit in the garage with one. Don't even think the light bar will work out for me in that department.
