    The actual point is, why do you care so much to the point you take sophomoric jabs at a guy and his truck on a forum for enthusiasts about said truck?

    He's psyched he's going wheeling with friends. He's psyched to do stuff to his truck to go wheeling with friends. He wanted to share that TW members.

    So Rack Dr sent me a new rack.. Installed it yesterday.. So I was really upset previous rack only lasted me a month. I talk to rich and explained what happened. He said he was going to build one himself to make sure I get a good one. Weird thing is they sent me a brand new rack that they spray painted.. Don't know what to make of that.. Why paint a brand new rack! I purchased some ES bushings because last one had old worn out bushings.. When I took these off that's when I realized the rack was new.. Let's hope I don't have issues with this one..

    Excellent question. I should've mentioned it. It was a 'pizza cutter' 33x9.50.
    That way, it wouldn't reduce my departure angle, or get caught on rocks.
    Of course, with a Detroit locker in the back, I needed the same diameter tire.

    Here's the deal -

    You all don't like one another - use the ignore feature.
    If you want to have an e-warrior fight - do it elsewhere.

    If you don't like what someone says - move on. Cut the shit out.

    Yeah, she submarined under the hitch receiver. Creased her hood up pretty good, then had the nerve to run off. I got her plate though and got a case number for insurance if I need it. But it looks like it did no damage, frame looks mint and the reciever only gained paint.

    Lol^. So here's my dilemma. I have a comeup seal gen 2 9.5rs, a pair of rigid d2s, tranny and tcase skids from skid row all sitting in my garage, waiting for the day my fabricator can begin building my front bumper. I still don't know how I want it to look. I'm thinking mostly if not all plate bumper because I like the look of them on the 95-97. And I'm not real big on hoops. But I've also seen some pretty sweet hybrids like @BDN 's front bumper. What direction do you guys think I should go with it?

    I remember reading that they (rack dr and other rack reman companies) cover little defects/minor pitting in the rack with some kind of bondo, then they paint over the bondo.

    Maybe painting them is just standard procedure? :notsure:

    Looks like it may be time for new spark plug tube seals and valve cover gasket. But to clarify, you are pointing at a spark plug coil.

    No, just a new valve cover gasket, I don't see any cracks in your cover. The spark plug tube seals are attached to the underside of the valve cover so to replace them the cover has to come off and it is good practice not to reuse gaskets.
