    Probably a wind chime. LOL.

    I thought you were doing your bumper this weekend.

    My class doesn't start until March :)

    Plus I gotta bunch of shit I want to do. Reinforce my rear frame seems to be on top of my list.

    I don't even have all the parts for it yet, and its still on the drawing board, I was gonna cut some stuff out and whatnot this weekend once I figure out exactly how I want it. I can wait till march/april/whenever, lol. I also need to relocate shocks and box the rear half of the frame around spring break... Maybe I should learn how to weld lol

    It's a ball joint press. It's for pressing balljoints in and out. Also worked well for doing the U-joints on OCK's Jeep axles.

    Intake is swallowing a lot of cold air from the wide open grill area. And it's protected from the 10 inches of snow we'll be getting tomorrow.

    When @Sub-Zero and I helped @04yota when his front driver side tire rolled out from under him on the highway, we were all parked on the exit lane of the highway. It was late, dark, cold and there were a lot of vehicles zooming past us.

    We were prepared with all the necessary gear: Flashlights, flares, reflective vest, etc.

    I learned one thing from this adventure: Make sure this type of gear is accessible and functioning well:
    1. Flashlight has weak batteries (I had a smaller , but very capable spare.)
    2. Reflective vest and flares were under the rear seat cubby on the driver's side. Took too long to move stuff off the seat to get under the seat. I had to retrieve the gear from the passenger side (because of the vehicles rushing by on the driver's side, I couldn't/didn't want to open the door on that side.)

    Here's my solution for better accessibility: I think I want to do the same for the passenger side door.
