You're working on the opposite side of the jack, right?

Dude! You don't have a Chang. It's the Chinese SST.
I don't shop at Walmart like you do for tools. I go to Harbor Freight.
Not the weekend, but I lost a caliper bolt while driving. WTF? Never seen that before. I rebuilt the front axles a few k ago, and know for a fact that I tightened everything to spec.
Limped back home and pulled both front tires. Missing the top d-side caliper bolt, bottom was very loose. I pulled both calipers, cleaned up the bolts, applied loctite and retightened to 94 ft/lbs. Slightly more than called for in the FSM.
Back on the road tomorrow.

Is it hat time of the month again? ......I told you I was sorry! here is a $1000 go buy a purse!
Is it just me or is there something beautiful missing in these pictures?
Something in your pictures used to just make them "pop"
Without that special something in your pictures life seems dull and boring.
It came from Slee. The previous owner picked it up. I wasn't so sure about it at first but the more I look at it the more it agrees with the clean lines of the fenderless look. I also found out that TJM does in fact make a winch plate for this bumper so no need to mount it feet forward on the bumper face. Now I just have to wait for it to get here from Australia.
Along with the bumper I wasn't sure about the 70 series steelies either but they've definitely grown on me and I think it embodies the Poverty Pack look with its simplicity.

Seems to happen a lot, even to people that definitely torque them to spec.
Consensus is to clean the threads in the knuckle and use new bolts every time. They aren't super expensive when you consider how rarely they actually need to be removed..
Also with the heat of the brake calipers there is no guarantee that the loc-tite will help much.
Very cool, but obviously the real witchcraft is how your rig is averaging +20mpg. lolInstalled a Scan Guage 2 in order to keep an eye on my water temp and for a more advanced trips meter among other things.
Factory tape deck and paper speakers out.
I don't think two Changs are alike. NLXTACY is very picky, he only gets the best of everything. If it says on it "Made in USA", that's a bonus.

FWIW Rear bumper bolt is the same

IH8it when that happens. Especially when in the middle of nowhere.

I think you should bring it back @NLXTACY. Not everyone likes a full armour, and this is by far the best and cheapest option.
I think you'll get a lot of support Joey.
I had one of the last few units made before they discontinued... Used it for two years and it was great. I loved the minimalistic part of it. It's what I needed at the time...
But I needed rear protection when I decided to go Rubithon so I had to get Luke's bumper.
