    Yep, after hearing him talk about it, I am putting it back on the list. I am gonna go swing by and talk to him over break and see if I can't set up a time to discuss some questions i still have. 60k a year with housing is not all that bad sounding. Graduate school may also happen now too. Unsure about it but its almost necessary.

    Did you get Jons truck running yet!?

    Yea I didn't think I'll do graduate school. Just too hard to get in at the place I wanna go..

    But sweet! That sounds like a good job to me. I guess it'll depend on the location you end up too.

    It's freaking beastly man..stoked to see it done too.

    I have never said I would do an engine swap! Or full skids, or ham radio. Front lockers are just to pricey haha.

    In other news, can't make this rear bumper work to save my life. First, doesn't look like tyler accounted for the 1.75'' because it hangs 1/2'' past where I cut. Then this damn swing out won't go on because the pieces don't want to slide in.

    Going off the instructions it sounds like you put the bearings in the hinge, then seal off the bottom, stick it on and put on the castle nut and cotter pin. The smallest bearing won't slide through to its place. I put them all on the spindle piece on the bumper and placed the swing out on and it just won't slide.

    Pretty sure the small bearing goes on after the swingout goes on. Show me a pic of the parts so I know what kind of spindle it is.

    Bottom bearing, swingout, top bearing (it's upside down in the pic)
    Is there a dust cover for the bottom bearing?
    If so, put the bottom bearing and dust cover in the swingout first

    Yeah I believe there is a dust cover. There is a piece that fits in the bottom to seal it off.
