Got the parts for my sway bar tonight.. so I can haz rear stability again!

And holy bawlz. Put in some serious work tonight putting up a new tree stand that my dad built. And taking down the old tripod stand took 4 of us.. and it was too top heavy and started falling over, everyone bailed but me and I caught like a 500 lb. stand on just my shoulder.. like a bawse lol. And then while transporting it down the road to a new location.. it fell out of the trailer and went sliding down the road throwing sparks everywhere. My brother was following us and almost hit it lol.

Me doing work..

And here's a pic of the new one.

It blends in well enough. No deer is going to take a second look at it, especially once it's been there for a few weeks and they get used to it being there.

I'm definitely going to do some serious coyote hunting out of that bad boy.

I reaaaally wish I was in bed. 3rd shift can kiss my cracker ass.

Then I'll get about 3 hours of sleep before I need to be up for a local car meet at noon. FYI.. you know your car is clean when it shines in the dark lololz. [clap]

Alright so I got my new autometer wideband yesterday. I'm looking at the instructions and everything looks easy except wiring it up....Has anyone around here done one before? I think I may need help. How are you supposed to attach these wires???

You need to pull the useless o2 sensor that just measures catalyst efficiency, and put in the wideband sensor assuming the gauge came with one. Then power, ground, acc, ect.

well sold the hood finally to a guy who is doing a V8 conversion into his wagon! I told him about the site and the club so we'll see if he joins up. Scott I also gave him your number b/c he needs a steering rack and lives a little north of millwalkie so I told him to call you since your place should have them.

I also had to get my taxes re-amended and I'm getting back another few hundred bucks which is nice. That's going straight into the house whenever the hell I get it back though. Or to insurance. Either way.

well my suspension adventure ended halfway through. mike and i got the fronts done. and back on stock equipment (squishy,lol) and went to do the backs and found that not only are my lower shock bolts seized, but my sway bar endlinks for the rear are also frozen. so i'll have to trash those as well just to get this stuff off.

i ahve decided i'm going to start looking for a different rear subframe. and i'm going to see if i can maybe improve upon their resistance to water a bit. or go all stainless and hose the thing down with anti seize. i dont think it was ever done the last three times it's been apart.

Fronts got antiseize on it now.
Im kinda thinking about pulling bolts from mine just to coat them if I even put anything on the car.
