Replaced front pads and rotors. Found out my next job is to rebuild the calipers and front axle and replace the oil sump and so when I'm there the BEBs too. Way to go this year )

A momentous occasion.

 

[Heckraiser]

it's the "annoy everyone in the valley" light. I bet he has a 500 watt karaoke system too

Karaoke is key in the valley

I camp with three small kids so a remote control wireless spotlight was in order.

Spent 5 hrs drilling and retapping the rear lower shock mounts on a friends 80 after the bolts snapped during a suspension overhaul.

Can't you just chain them to the bumper?

I did, mom didn't approve.

Rebuilt my front axle, oddly felt like a right of passage in Cruiser ownership. Thanks @cruiseroutfit for great service and parts!

Replaced the hatch I smashed on Rubicon Labor Day Weekend just in time to hit the trail again this coming weekend.

Yes, I backed in to a tree in the dark and caught the outside perimeter of the tire. The tire pedestal flexed and "boom". I plan to reinforce the tire mount.

Correct, that was not I. However, I feel fortunate not only because I harvested an elk (a cow, quartered to fit nicely in truck) but also because afterward, I met a hunter who said that a week prior he spotted a large grizzly rooting around about 1/3 mile from where I arrowed the elk. So things could have gotten really exciting; I'm happy grizzlies are repopulating old haunts but would rather not see that type of uninvited guest show up for dinner.

Mmmmmmmm, Elkburgers! Our youth deer hunt is this weekend and my daughter has stuff going all weekend so no-go for us, and our freezer is empty!

Finally fixed all the swaybar issues I had from the last couple weeks.
