What was done to your rig this week?

Well I think I tracked down a creak in my Jeep. I thought it was passenger door. Every time I turned or flexed the body in anyway. So annoying. So I take off door and sound still there. Put back on door and immediately it makes the "creak". I narrowed it down to the panel the door attaches to behind the fender flare. It was rubbing on another piece of metal. The sound was distressed metal kind of a creak. I went in and took some panels apart and sprayed with WD40 and then squeezed some lithium grease in there. Poof!! Sound gone. I don't necessarily think its a permanent fix, but I'm happy it is gone for now. May be back tomorrow, but at least I have identified the sound. Anyone else feel a sense of accomplishment when this happens??

Reworked bump stops and changed rims for bigger tires to clear and set flatter. Find out if it works out next weekend on back roads to Crown King:rock:

That, my friend, is my favorite cordless drill! Fine power tool right there! It outperforms my Milwaukee electric, no problems

It is a bad mofo! I love it and use the shit out of it! Whipped out all 18 1" holes like butter.

Have you tried the Fuel line of cordless Milwaukees?? We have some at work and there nothing short of AMAZING and with more than enough torque to damn near twist your arm off when it stops at full throttle. :rock:
 
Installed rear rock lights, back up lights, license plate / third brake light, and rear d2's! Then took a trip through the rubicon with the wife :thumb:

Installed ACE flat steel fenders and rock rails. Not the best pictures, but you get the idea. Tomorrow the Teraflex 1.75" budget lift is getting replaced with the RK 2.5".
