    The suspension is SWEET!!! :eek::thumbsup::fistbump:

    Very pleased with it. There are some railroad track crossing that I typically go over from time to time and before the new set, when I would go over it... it was SUPER ROUGH. Mind you, the uneven gravel/tracks really isn't all that bad as you go over it. My Civic is more comfortable!!! :rofl::rofl::rofl:

    But NOW, with the new suspension, it just "glides over"???!!! Very soft and you almost don't feel anything. :thumbsup:

    I bought a new radiator because mine is leaking at the top tank area along the seems on one corner and half way down along the top on one side.

    Anyways, still need to install the new radiator and do my upper ball joints. I MIGHT do the lower ball joints as well? :notsure:

    The idling, ever since I/we changed the fuel filter, and some of the vacuum hoses, it no longer randomly idles like a Harley. :laughing::laugh::rofl::rofl::rofl:

    It was beginning to get into rough shape and just couldn't do anything. I'd save money to fix it, but then I would never be able to "upgrade it".

    But yeah, it was very heartwarming for sure!!! :thumbsup::fistbump:

    @BLKTRUCK and @bigbarlo had talks with me because I didn't know what to say? I felt bad and never expected "sympathy", if that makes any sense? But, I've been told just a simple "thank you" is all that is needed. I told Oscar a story about one of my old bosses from Discount Tire, Co. back in the day, years ago, and he was telling me the same thing. I guess I never learned to not be so "humble"?

    Anyways... yeah, SUPER HAPPY brotha!!! :thumbsup::fistbump::drunk:

    Bro no first gens are allowed to go down if I can help it lol. Super glad we could all help out. Yeah chasing demons adds up. Glad you got most of em back in their cages. Just redownloaded that game. Im gonna check out for 8 hours now lmao

    LBJ’s on our trucks definitely need a swap, id do that instead of uppers, unless the uppers are worse off and the lowers show no signs of play

    @Prayn4surf btw, don't know if you know, but there are "Titans" now and new "coins" (i.e. Platinum).

    Do yourself a favor and SAVE ALL your Platinum to get the "Ao Ming". You get the first Titan for "free", but the other two, you have to either purchase the Platinum, literally buy, or "grind it out", like I do. It really didn't take all that long to get enough Platinum. I also saved enough GOLD, over time, to now have 3x hangars. Depending on what type of map I'm on, depends on what hangar I use.

    HAHAHAHA, NEVER spent a single cent on the game and my boys are only level 6, level 8 weapons, and I'm almost in Diamond league 2. :thumbsup::fistbump::quickdraw:


    But yeah, save your Platinum first instead of using it to upgrade your Titan until you get that Ao Ming. :thumbsup:

    My upper on the driver side just recently split open. So it's "fresh", but want to get that done before it gets worse. The passenger side still looks okay, but I will change that as well.

    The lowers, I hadn't looked for any play yet. I will be doing that check soon.

    1st Gen is the best Gen!!! :D:p:thumbsup::fistbump::rofl::rofl::rofl::mudding:

    Yeah, we have them fairly regularly.

    This month and next is a bit tight on money only because of the "situation" with how I have to treat rent for the next month or two.

    After that, things should be more stable money wise... finally. Tax returns should help me quite a bit.

    Anyways, that'd be cool to hang out with you and Bryan @TXpro4X4 at the same time. His little dog is a true terrorist, but damn is she cute as hell!!! Little turd!!! :laughing::laugh::rofl::rofl::rofl:

    That reminds me I should probably check mine out again. Is replacing the LBJs a hard process? Might give it a try after the doc clears me to do things again
