Haven't gone in a while. I did learn my truck can hold 31 bags of wet bark and a bag of rocks. With some room for more. Was still off the bumpstops. I should probably wash it at some point. The dirt protects the wax which protects the paint.

because every humvee you can buy has been put through hell and back by a bunch of 18-25 year olds that don't give a single fuck about them and reached a point where the federal government has decided they're not economically viable to keep running

what bumper is that? what winch do you have with it?


still wondering if i should install my lift kit this weekend

my rear spring hangers still havent shipped

so i could do the front
or
i could do the front and rear and reuse the factory ubolts then when the hangers come in, take them off and install the ubolt flips and rear hangers
decisions decisions

Winch is a warn 10klb VR Evo with synthetic rope.
Bumper is a warn 100044 semi hidden kit.
It installed nicely and isn't obvious unless you love for it. I went with synthetic rope to save weight and since the rope is buried in the bumper it doesn't see sunlight unless I pull the rope out. I also put in a relay so the winch isn't on unless I flip a switch. It has a wireless remote so I wasn't sure if they synced them to the winch or if it would be like old RC cars with the cross talk interfering with each other.

UPDATES:
Got one coilover installed today
i failed to measure hub to fender, so i really wont know how much lift i have
i will say i had to step on the LCA with pretty much all my weight to get the new coilover in the lower hole. surprised me a little.

anyway, i had two casualties, i punctured my hub cap thingie with a screwdriver because im a retard. i might want to get another one, or ill probably just pick up jb weld or rtv or something

i also maybe fucked up my tierod end. couldnt get the fucker off, and i was beating on it with the castle nut on because i didnt want to fuck up the threads, and fucked up the castle nut instead, necause im a retard. so now theres some random flared nut on it, with some blue locktite, @80ft lbs. i should probably at least get another castle nut, what do you guys think of this tierod?

i also did the needle replacement on my front CV and changed the seal.

tomorrow i will finish the front, and think about doing the rear, even tho i dont have my rear spring hangers yet. debating weather i should do that or not.

I would get a replacement castle nut and a fresh cotter pin.

i just ordered 2 new mevotech tie rod ends. $80. fuck it, might as well replace both before i get an alignment, and then that one tierod start getting slack in it soon down the road.
at least this one is grease-able
they make these tierod sleeves, theyre like 100 bucks tho. seems like a nice upgrade, but im not sure if i need them, im only running 33s.
