Today was a good day - the counter to trivial complaints

Long as it wasn't ever run low on oil it should be good. Spindle bearings are an easy fix but some people never do and wind up destroying belts and everything aha

Well, I spoke too soon. I only pulled one spindle the first night and it came apart easily. The second---not so much, wow. Heat, 8lb maul, penetrating oil, more heat, puller, even more heat, impact gun, and more heat finally got the pulley off then I had to cut one bearing off with a dremel. Unfortunately with so much pressure, the threads on the spindle shaft are jacked up somewhat. I'm hoping to clean the threads up with the dremel so I can at least impact the nut on.

My Snapper walk behind I used to have was a piece of cake to do the spindles on, the pulleys had a puller built in to them and came off in 2 minutes each.

The road crew are done digging up the main road by my house and they're laying new asphalt. I'm downwind of them.

I love the smell of fresh asphalt.

I've been working on my Biscayne off and on over the past 4-5 months rebuilding the front suspension. Now that its getting a little cooler in Texas (mid 90's) i've been more motivated to work on it. Saturday I got it back together enough to drive it out of the garage for the first time in months. I worked on it a little more yesterday, my kids supervised and helped a little which is always a joy for me.
While in the trunk:
To my daughter "Do you know what a hammer is?"
Daughter "Yes!"
Me "There should be a blue one on the ground, can you hand it to me?"
Daughter "Here it is Daddy" *hands it to me*


I discovered one of the rear air bags has a hole rubbed into it so i'm waiting on a pair of new bags to show up so I can finish it up. Looking forward to driving it a little more.

That thing is SWEET! Oh, and it is awesome having the kids help with the mechanics duty, especially once they get a bit stronger. Their little hands fit far better in an SJ than mine do. To this day any time I want to swap a pump cone I call my daughter down to the basement since she can reach right in there.

Took half the day off, finally got the rear air bags sorted out, had a hole worn in one, so I replaced both. Upgraded the way they mount on the frame and control arm. I'm so OCD about car stuff. I can't leave stuff half assed, I just can't. So every time I work on one thing, I find 3 more things that need to be fixed. Today I had to redo my bag cups twice because I didn't like how the first rendition worked.

I still need to replace the rear control arm bushings, but I think it'll drive a little better now that the front is all new.

Tomorrow morning I go get a brand new tube of grease for my shiny new Harbor Freight grease gun, I'll grease the ball joints and take it for a spin finally.

Well today started off as a complete train wreck and didn't improve much until I came home to find this had arrived...

And this...

Not sure which one I'm more excited about.

Did you try blowsion or thrust? I believe TPE, Blowsion and Thrust are the only retailers that will sell you the TNT setup.

My tv was glitching really bad, thought it was time for a new tv since mine was like 7 years old. We ordered a new one showed up broken, got the new one yesterday from amazon. Got it all hooked up and was still glitchi g. Called the cable company and they couldnt get anyone out here u til sunday so i had them reset my password and was able to use my new smart tv to watch the game in full 1080p glory which was awesome since it couldnt go one play with out freezing up and frustrating me to no end.
