    I'm bummed I flaked on ma boys doing a Sunday drive today.

    I had to bow out cause there are just too many loose ends. Didn't have the compressor re wired, none of my tools were in the truck etc.

    Tryin to make some progress.

    Switches are ready, and wired, for the new lights.

    Got the compressor wired back in

    Chase lights and the lights for the side boxes are also wired back in.

    Speaking of compressors...

    Wouldn't call it a Mod Day per se. But @essjay and I will be doing some shit at my place on Saturday. He's got big brakes to install and I've got some buttoning up on some stuff that HAS GOT to get done before we blast off next weekend.

    If anyone wants to stop buy, we'll be easy to find.

    I'm trying to see if my buddy can come with me to help get my bumper, winch, light bar installed. I'm in a knee brace for a few more weeks so I wont be much help. If i cant make it tomorrow, I can always host a mod day at my place. I have decent driveway space and can smoke some tri tip or something for us, I just dont have a lot of tools. But I need to get this bumper installed before we start hitting the trails again.

    I’ll be there between 10-11. I thought I had a wiring harness for my light bar so I’ll just install the bumper and mount the light bar and worry about the wiring at a different time.

    I need to find my balljoint separater...that's the only thing I think I need.

    Mainly to press apart my steering damper as I've got a new one I haven't installed yet :bananadead:
