bent my frame back today with the help of nicks equipment trailer, some load binders, chains, jack stands, and some bottle jacks.


looks a ton better and the rear frame is back where it should be.  tail gate even works again!

once we got it up on the trailer and the inner fenders off, i found the kink in the frame that the body shop couldnt find.  some redneck engineering, it looks good, and feels good now.

I have been putting some work in to this girl.

she got a new (to me) brake controller, 4 new rotors, 4 sets of pads, new ebrake shoes, some light bulbs replaced, fixed a sagging driver door, and added an upgraded air filter.

Also this weekend i picked up a set of 19.5\" with some F rated tires (tires are pretty old) for a steal at J&J.  They are extreemly hard to find SRW 19.5\'s that just bolt on.  shopping for some wheel spacers and new rubber this week.
