What have you done to your ride lately?

Frack me..
Crank Bolt is kicking my ass, easily the most difficult bolt I have had to deal with. Check out the damages..

I have now broken a third deep 19mm socket. Good Grief.. I just can't help my self, get bored.. go out and pull on it and break sockets. Need a torch for Christmas... :(

Has anyone ever broken three sockets on the same f-ing bolt? 1/2" drive even.. what the hell? I have a theory as to why I am snapping them.. I have to use both hands on the breaker bar, and with a deep socket and a somewhat rounded bolt.. they are probably leaning to one side causing them to crack from force they are not built to withstand.. Guess I will need to remove the radiator, and hit it with the impact directly.. other than heat, any other ideas?

bunch of stuff... finally got a hold of some nitrogen so time to charge my shocks.

I'm having a bit of a challenge with my bud builts. If anyone gets a chance, could you take a picture of how the front one goes on?

I am also finding it very hard to bend the 90 degree bends in my bend bud built (last one). I bent the middle one back all the way on a 90 mph romp across a dry lake bed.

A bunch of stuff - too bad I could for the life of me figure out the front skid - oh well. I guess we just have a 'wheeling govener' - Zoom was looking forward to doing some waterfalls!!! Oh well, I'm sure well have a good wheeling trip just the same! :( :)

Merry Christmas!

Sam, just keep your panties on and I'll fix that bolt for you soon enough, Heat is your best bet IMO. You can buy a small torch pretty cheap or wait it out.

Changed my oil, oil filter, and rear diff oil today. Hard to believe that I've driven 5k miles since october. Also replaced the silverstar ultra piece of shit headlight bulb. Burned out on me last night. LMAO, Rob knows my pain. Also cleaned up some audio wiring to keep it out of sight. And I painted my recovery shackle.

Ordered starter contacts from 4crawler but my problem has been really intermittent so I'm going to clean the connections this weekend and see if that makes a difference?

I would imagine that worn starter contact problems would start out as an intermittent problem and progressively get worse. I still think that replacing them is the first step and like you said, if it doesn't cure the problem then you are still a step ahead because we both know they will fail eventually.

Finally put the decal on - had to chop off the ".com" so it'd fit. Thanks Keith!
