    forgot to do that :eek:

    today was an eventful day.

    went to my buddies to borrow some jack stands. get home and they arent long enough. fully extended with the truck not even on the jack yet. just use the jack and do one tire at a time, problem solved. go to take tire off, socket wont fit the impact. off to lowes to get a socket. get back and take the tire off then start cutting. cheap (actually expensive) cutting disc from walmart disintegrates, no problem i have another. just finish cutting passenger cab mount and it breaks. :banghead: back to lowes for new cutting discs, dewalt was cheaper than the skil ones i got at walmart :rolleyes: get home and finish passenger side cab mount. start driver. half way through cutting grinder decided to shred the gears. call my buddy to borrow his. finish cutting and weld everything. move to back. goes off without any problem. until it starts to rain. good thing i just had to put the bumpstop on which then left me to put the tire back and move all the tools back into the shed. needless to say i am exhausted :p

    mofos jacked my alignment again. found out a small place in town also does alignments so i will be going there from now on. the shop i took it to is highly reputable but in the two (actually 4) times i have been in there they have messed something up. both times were for alignment. took it in when i first bought the truck and they left a bolt hand tightened, so i took it back and had them fix that. now getting another alignment today the steering wheel is turned about 10-15 degrees to the left and jerks to the right if i let go of the wheel. going back first thing in the morning and they will fix it one way or another. :banghead::mad::mad::mad:

    took it back to the shop this morning as soon as they opened. completely denied that the alignment was messed up so they rotated the tires and said that would fix it. its pretty obvious it wasnt done right... i just dont feel like dealing with morons any more today.
