Thank you, the flexy coils and superflex arms do work well together. I run a swaybar with @LandCruiserPhil 's disconnects to keep it behaving nicely onroad

Pic brought back memories of getting a 0.5mm ball of splatter landing inbetween my toes. I was wearing vans and it went right through the fabric! Only boots for me after that experience!

No pain was reported. She loved every second of it.

Some ol ladies love the pain, is what it is.

Skids are your friend, JMO and any excuse to call SLEE is a win.

Guilty as well. I love how those little molten balls glue between your fingers and toes! The real test is when you have a nice bead going and you have to suck it up and keep welding while that molten bb cooks away at you, just to make a pretty weld.

I replaced my fusible links and solved my intermittent stumble and occasional stall/ no start! Yay!!

Did a 4x4 camp trip with my Dad up on Stony Pass in Colorado. It was great fun freaking my pops out, too - he'd never been on anything more serious than a graded dirt road before, so even mild wheeling was blowing his wig back. 10/10 for scenery up there, and since we came at the pass from the more difficult side, we were comprehensively alone in camp. Caught a mess of native cutthroat, drank some whiskey, watched some of the meteor shower, woke up to a pretty serious sunrise.

Learned that 7000# 96 FZJ80 does not float well on Alaskan muskeg. Having a punctured tire and it off the bead did not help. Also learned that she is a billy goat and can climb the crap outta the Alaskan ridgelines.

Fixed my AC ... again ... hopefully for the last time! Replaced all the orings, expansion valve, and drier first go around. After a couple weeks, noticed the back of the compressor was oily, and no more AC. So I ordered up a seal kit, pulled it out, replaced all the seals in the compressor, reinstalled and recharged. Blowing cold again, fingers crossed...
