You are getting alot done. Feels like I am in slow motion and just cant get moving like I should be. I might give the Ever coat a try when I can get on to my 85.

Got the POR15 put on. Stuff is really nice. It was gloss black so it's nice and shiny.

I hear you there buddy. Sometimes I have a stale period where it seems as though I cannot get anything done at all on my own stuff. We are really trying to work hard on the Frame/SAS build. We actually got the front springs on, just now trying to figure out the shackle angle.

The evercoat fillers seem to mix, and spread so much better than anything I have used previously.

It's crazy $$. The Eastwood stuff is just as good and cheaper to boot.

Gizler, on that evercoat and U-pol, Evecoat is a good products. U-pol I was first introduced to it about 6 months ago when I went in looking for a paint. They offered U-pol 2k Primer. Did my research on the product and it seems to be a very good 2k primer. The only reason I remember the U-Pol product is because I didn't understand what the guy was saying until he brought the product out. I thought he keep saying U-pull as in Junk Yard.

I am thinking of using their 2k Primer. Any suggestion on their primers?

Haha. That's funny. I could see that happening.

I have only used their primer a few times, but have used their dolphin glaze filler a lot as well as the raptor liner now.

I have been wanting to POR my frames but its cost keeps getting put on the back burner as seems there are other things that keep popping up. I hear it is some great stuff.

I have been checking in on your weird issue thread. Seems like it almost has to be a broken wire or something at this point. I would remove the crimps to the injector while you have it apart and looking for what is tripping off the CEL.

I think you are right Terry. We are going to remove the upper intake today and look at the wiring. I'm almost certain there has to be a crimped wire or broken one in that loom. It all started when he reinstalled the intake. And the CEL comes on instantly when you hook the battery back up

Messing around in the yard last Sunday. Had to move the cars for the twins birthday party. What better place to park than on top of the hill right!

I put in an order for some Doetsch Tech 3000 shocks for my runner from lowrange. I would have loved to go with Bilsteins or something equivalent, but I simply could not afford that. Plus I have read alot of great reviews on these shocks on all kinds of vehicles. It was 179$ for all 4 after shipping, and I just got an email with a shipping conformation yesterday!

Can not wait to get these on! My current ones are pissing like an old guy with a UTI.

Was messing around with my paint the other day. I took a terry cloth towel and used some good polish to get rid of oxidation. I couldn't believe it! To my surprise, it actually worked and shined the paint up.

I am going to run and get some cutting polish that is actually meant for getting haze and oxidation off.

Looks good sitting on the hill. The walk down wouldn't be bad, but I would want a ride back up to it,lol, I not that out of shape yet but sure I would feel it once I got to the top.

HAHA. Its not too bad to walk up one time, but after a few times of dumping grass, you want to lay down and take a nap or get oxygen. HAHA

Its worse when trying to sled ride with my boys and there's a foot of snow you have to trample through also.
