Hmmm I have had some squeaks and and some bad looking bushings up front... maybe it's time to get on that. I'll check my control arm too, thanks

I didn't think yours had gone that far along. That orange looks awesome so I'm really hoping to see that color on yours. You made her look at millions of pictures?

With every new project or next step, I go through the over think period. lol My wife is the most patient woman on the planet. We've been married ten years and I love her input on all my car stuff. She keeps me from doing silly things.

No problem. Hopefully it's just upper arm bushings or something

I'm the same way with just about everything. As for the patience, she says I was put on Earth to teach her that. 17 years and she's getting better. (In that time I've also learned to recognize when her eyes begin to glaze, and to just stop talking.)

On the truck front, I have six new Motorcraft coils courtesy of the dealership, and will be swapping those in for the rest of the no-name ones they installed. I'll also take that opportunity to pull the plugs for inspection and re-torque since I don't trust them to be correct.

I might swap hoods at the same time, as it could make getting to things a little easier.

I don't think all that is in the cards for this weekend, but I do plan to change the xfer case fluid since I found it over-full of Mercon V recently.

I feel like I know that feeling but right now I'm playing moderator with wedding plans. I can't wait until things can get back to me being on the lofty goals side of the fence.

No pics but side steps (cheap Ebay) new all seasons and polished up the chrome rims. Kids, married 50 years tomorrow and she was handing me wrenches today, that's a keeper.
