    @Beretta4x4 I got the green light from the wife and go ahead to do some wheeling on Saturday. If that opens it up for more to join in, that would be awesome.

    Are the icons used? Maybe the lower bushing on the shock that mounting bolt goes thru or possibly retorque lcas.
    Another thing do you have the sway bar on still, is so did you but the spacer in for it? If not may be hitting the coil spring.

    I know, I was just poking the Chadster. Quite the pic in the Statesman this am, of the father and son camping in front of St. Ed's. What an example for ol' Dad to pass down...

    Hard to find people who want to go work outside for a small starting pay amount.

    Keep in mind I'm old enough to call dirt "Junior", but I worked in a creamery my senior year in high school for $2.85/hour. As I was getting ready to graduate, the owner asked me my plans, and I said I wasn't sure, and asked him why he was asking; the job was part of a school program, and it ended when the school year ended. He told me he wanted me to stay on, and was willing to bump my pay to $3.15/hour. What the jackass didn't realize was that I'm a guy that keeps up with the news, and I knew the minimum wage was being increased that summer, from $2.85 to... wait for it.... $3.15. I laughed at him, thanked him for the offer, and said I'd be doing something else.

    Good morning ATX.

    Does anybody know the owner of Hot Rod Shift Knobs? I know he’s local here in the greater Austin area. Need to get in touch with him. Tia
