Nice, good to see you got them pegged! I opted out of that but I'm also not running 35s...

Crazy right? That's what mine looked like when I picked it up a couple years ago(arizona truck)

Not anymore...

Also, Dusty, why haven't you removed the line bracket on the springs? Nervous?

Yep not even the slightest hint of rust and I carry a rattle can under it every time I need to crawl under there.
Gotta leave those brackets to mount all those colorful ghetto fabulous led "look at me" lights

I got mine back from the shop.. New oil pump, water pump, timing chain, main bearings, main seal front and rear, flex plate and a whole bunch of other little stuff. Runs like a new girl though.

Rained a little today, tried using my wipers to just clear the windshield, and they made it worse. I didn't want to buy new wiper blades from the interweb, so I went to AutoZone and bought some Bosch 21'' Blades and swapped the rubber pieces onto my the LR frames. Took 15 minutes and some finesse, but they work great.
