What have you done to your rig today?

It could be 5, the jks track bar is only $250.

Yeah, but it's a piece of shit. So you'd have to subtract that piece of shit from the shitload, leaving you one piece of shit short.

What about an Ironman Trac bar?

I emailed Andy last night. He doesn't list TJs on the website (anymore??). I need to see if he can/will make something that doesn't hit the diff, pitman, or motor.

Elaborate for the uneducated.

It's basic shit math. If you have a pile of shit, and you take one piece of shit away, you're now a piece of shit short.

Come on man, I know you're a Rough Country coil spring fan boy.
Why not one of their track bars?
I'm sure @trailhugger has appropriate life insurance coverage.

F no. The RC 2.5" lift is a bargain. Same with the RC lowers, just weld a bung into one end and thread on a Barnes joint. But I'm not running their track bars.

Primed the oil pump and dropped a bolt down the distributor hole so now I've got to pull the pan..... y'all sure it ain't Monday
 
Extendo magnets my friend...

I can only assume it bounced off the oil pump shaft and went into the pan, really dunno if I could get it with a magnet
 
Rebuilt the king pins on the k5

That's a stainless steel shim I machined at school to add some preload to the kingpins

These you weld onto the kingpin and hit it with a BFH to bust them loose

Installed some new shackle hangers, need to order some 7.25" shackles and moved the front axle forward for a better approach angle. I'm planning on buying another set of fenders and section them to make the wheel whee bigger and delete the side marker light. I'll replace it with a smaller LED one.

I've got about everything coming in tomorrow to get the engine back up and running. That'll be my weekend project.
