Ok, so as most of you know the Fam and I went wheening Sunday and got stuck.
Well ever since then when it was raining I could not turn sharp to the left, so parking in my spot was hard to to.
When it was dry no problem.
Put the front of the truck on jack stands today and found that the steering damper was full of sand and so when I turned left the sand would compact and stop me from moving the wheel to lock.
I got the sand out and now no problems.

Spike, you have to quit playing in the mud and come out to Colorado for some obsene trails.

Well once I get her kitted the way I want then she will be "done", but you are correct, she will never be done.

Yeah, we're all sick, it's like, "I need a bigger toolbox, or I need a bigger garage", it'll never end.

Funny about the steering damper

Mine does not, but it will soon.

I keep saying, "but honey, I only paid $3K for it!". That was 2 years and several hours ago. It isn't the $$ spent, it is the time.

I just spent a few hours dropping the caddy and putting new shocks and a stereo in, so she's happy for the time being. I need to slip a lift kit in there somewhere..
