Today i cussed out my JK to kingdom come.
The bolts holding the sway bar links were not budging at ALL, and all i wanted was to take them off so i could plan a large pin system as a quick disconnect. but after nearly rounding off the nut my gf's dad and i finally got them off. Ground down the nut to 11/16 instead of 18mm
Never seized them and cleaned the bolts on the wire grinder attachment, they went back on like a piece of cake but getting them off was a real pain in the ass. If i can't find a pin the right size for the sway bar link, i'll probably just end up drilling the bolt itself and using a codder pin.
thats quick enough

Did some touch up painting to some of the black items I'd sprayed about a year ago on yesterday and put my trail rated badge back on after repainting it with bedliner last weekend. The inside part of my key holes was showing some of the silver back through so I taped them off and bedlined the inner part. Looks great! Also did the screws for my gas cap cover with bedliner. I found my Acetone in the garage and cleaned them really good so they should hold up better this time.

Within the last week I put on my new RockKrawler 3.5" lift and Riddler Diff covers. Then I took it out to play a little. I almost made it through this mud hole but when I swerved to try and miss a 4 foot tall frog I got stuck.
