Glad they got'er under control.

My Buddy got his Excursion back... he had some feller put a 2005 Dana 60 in it with coils. The guy stripped some shid out. So he came over so we could remove the passenger shock bolt. The dude stripped the **** out of it. Also effed a few other things up... he's not happy.

He did ask me if I'd paint it for him though... the same color on the bottom of Frankie (smoke gray). I told him "why not"?

I just spent three years getting all of my crap out to do tires. Turns out, the HF manual tire changer is no bueno for low profile tires. There's a guy in Grantsville (about 10 miles away) that I just messaged. Either him or his son have a Fox Body... I have 8 that need done.

EDIT: He told me he will M&B 'em for 20 a piece. SOLD. Just gotta figure out when.

Good deal on the tires...

Sucks about getting the tire machine accessories out. Just have to re file the stuff.

Yeah.... and I'll tell you what. 20 a piece to keep my shoulders from suffering just might be worth it too, lol. He hasn't answered me back on when he can do them. BUT, he did offer to even come and pick them up if I want him to. Super good dude.

EDIT: On Frankie, the mount and balance will be the only thing I am paying out for the wheels and tires. The wheels and tires are both freebies.

It's been a lawngas day. Someone else had been in the Explorer dicking around. Must've had the upper intake off at some point, because they ran evap lines and wiring harnesses in spots that you have to have the intake out for. I wound up cutting the one and splicing it back after I ran it correct. Also found the sheathing is coming off this harness. I'm thinking that unpinning this and using shrink tube might be the best bet.... I don't even know what the hell it goes too.

Unfortunately, no. My butt was planted in my recliner.... quite possibly dozed off for a minute. I needed a power nap today.
