    On a serious note, Pat. I hope you two have a long and wonderful life together. Kimm'r and I are on 45 years, and the honeymoon isn't anywhere close to being over. :thumbsup:

    Worked on the crunchy brakes (again today.) There is just no fixing them. Well... there is but I don't have the resources just now. Been looking at Diamond axle housings. Seems like a nice upgrade and then do the discs on that and I can keep my existing 8". I could just upgrade to dana 60 but it seems they are heavy and I would loose clearance. I could just be where I am and go back to my original thought of doing disc brakes on the back. Need more information on options here as the dream is too expensive so need to scale back into the universe I live in...

    Been jealous of others who already have these, and not sure why I haven't picked one up sooner. My knees will really appreciate it in Kentucky!

    I also crawled under my rear bumper and adjusted my chase lights, angled down slightly. Can't say I've never done anything for you @Stoney Ranger

    Went and checked out some familiar spots, then let my son have another go on a straight away.

    Viper cut looks good to me. Really opens it up. I followed the first bend in the bumper straight back to the wheel well.

    Great point, Plus towing with a kinetic rope can get a bit dicey. Using a strap is best for long tows anyways! Atleast from my experience

    EDIT: RCI sells replacements. :cool:

    There's already a clip or 2 messed up.

    One happened from a vicious concrete pole that jumped out at me at the gas station.

    The poles that you drive up to when parking in front of the building......got a little too close.
    Parking lots are hard core.
