What have you done to someone else's ride lately?

It is not a war crime the first time.

Put it at 2" and then throw some weight in back. After a few weeks of riding around it will sit right without the weight

It's the front that's higher

Did the rear brakes, shocks and leaf springs on my son's truck. Also put on a 2"drop shackle while I was in there. Started on the front, but only got to stripping the front brakes off and removing the passenger side strut. The goob that owned it before me had installed a lift block in the front like a jack ass, wtf lifts a 2wd. I thought it was up higher in the front then it should be, and road rougher then it should. That will all be fixed tomorrow and sitting nice and level with ceramic brakes all around.
Forgot to mention I had to drop the fucking fuel tank become genius thought it would be a good idea to put the head of the front leafspring mount against it do the bolt cannot be removed until yiu drop the tank. That was a PITA because I hadn't planned on doing that and used the drive on lift instead of the two post.

Cut that bolt off and replace it with one facing the right direction.

All washed up and aligned now. Rides so much better without those stupid leveling blocks in the front.

Blue Jean Blue is my favorite Ferd color.
It is pretty nice looking. I still prefer white over anything, but that blue is nice. The charcoal and flat gray are also good looking.

4. I prefer something easy to keep clean that looks good. That's why I prefer it.

Ordered a bunch of maintenance items for the Kia since we'll be taking it to Santa Fe in August. Figured if I ordered the stuff now, I might actually have it all done by the time we leave.

Front rotors & pads
Caliper rebuild kit
Front struts
Rear shocks
Both OEM O2 sensors
Air and cabin filters
Oil and filter
Passenger tail light

Planning on doing the O2 sensors and tail light on Wednesday so I can get it inspected and registered. Hasn't been done since 12/20. I don't know how she hasn't gotten pulled over. If I let mine go a week past being due, I get a fucking ticket.

Gave my dad's old truck a seafoam treatment, changed his fuel filter and gave it a tune-up for father day.

Shady tree'd a fuel pump into my dad's truck yesterday. I'd have dropped the fuel tank, but it was completely full lol
