Too old for this... lol
Oh dear Lord I'm so tired.
A buddy and I were bleeding the brakes but he got some brake fluid in his eye, so we're done for the night. We thought we were done though, and I tried to take it for a drive. Nope, no brakes. Gotta bleed them in the morning.
The front sway bar is hitting both springs, and investigation showed that the springs are bowed a little and the shocks are leaning, so I need to shorten the upper control arms.
I need to still use the AEV Procal.
I need to take it for a drive and pray that all is well.
I need to install the Seat Covers.
I need to install the Tuffy Security Enclosure.
I need to get the rocker guards powder coated, then welded on.
I need to take a nap.

Looking sweet. Motivating to do more to mine. Couple of questions:
1. You originally were going with the Mickey Thompson MTZ P3s and decided on the BFGs. What drove the decision?
2. How do you like the seat covers? I have neoprene covers on my seats and they are due for replacement and have been considering the Bartact.
Cheers to you on keeping going and hopefully your buddy's eye is doing ok. Brake fluid can't feel good in the eye.

1. I started to put my order in with a company that was pushing them the MTZ pretty hard. I ended up ordering via NorthRidge and chose the BFG's because I've had them before. Good tires.
2. They are still in the packaging in the garage. I had them on my last Jeep though. Overpriced, but in the end, really worth it. They last and don't fade and split.
I'm about to head out the garage and hopefully finish my install in the next 6-8 hours or so.
