My point was upper and lower tie rod ends? Tie rods are steering linkage. There is no upper and lower.
Stop in for a cup of coffee

It’s been my daily. Kind of going the mild Jeepin’ route. The factory suspension was shot, 278,000 miles on some of the items like control arms and sway bars. The springs were cracking so I decided for a full lift and short arm kit.
I still have to get the control arms and track bars installed yet. Plus the axle seals. That list is just what’s installed so far.
I also prepped this stuff for the eventual hemi swap . Everything ordered is compatible with the additional weight

There is on a Jeep JK. FSM even identifies them as that. Have a copy sitting on the work bench for it from All Data
Yup. I get it. I went V8 bars and reinforced LCA and K if I ever go 273 in the Valiant
Damn that's not good one hell of a good family that have good values.
You bet prayers for sure.

I wanted to go one ton upgrades but that’s 1800 bucks MORE than I already spent.

Lol no. The ball joints and tires. Even cheated and went el cheapo on tires. Ball joints were 300 a PAIR,Yes, buying upper and lower tie rod ends.
Well, I just got home from a long day in Saigon. But did get to go to the American supermarket. Bought some bacon some ready-made burgers some American cheese and some hamburger rolls and some assorted other odds and ends that I wanted here at the house.
Now I hear after this long day, tomorrow we are flying to Hanoi to meet the daughter's boyfriend's family again. The daughter sent me some information the other day and it read 1/12 so I assume that was the 12th day of January. But I forgot they do it backwards here it's the first day of December for them. So tomorrow we've fly to Hanoi at 5:00 a.m. get there at 8:00 a.m. . Stay all day and then fly home again at 7:00 p.m. tomorrow night to get back here. And I thought today was a long day. Can't wait for tomorrow. Lol

Sounds like a party til you drop scenario
Morning!
Wind is howling again. Temp is dropping, so we are getting down to normal winter temps.
The brake job i did last week is coming back, but keeps changing appointments.

Keep it Frank! I am finding as I get older I can't deal with the cold.
That's why I spend my Winter's in Vietnam..
Here's my first bacon cheeseburger on this trip. Getting ready to rip into it. Hope you all have a great day.
Morning weather watchers 21 degrees and windy here. Friday is a high of 68 crazy weather patterns this time of year.
Yesterday loaded up the snow blower and took it to the shop for some work. First time in 12 years that I've spent any money on it.
Priced a new one $1500 yep I'll stick with the old one.

Good Morning All! 3 storm bases opened overnight but not in the counties I work in, whew! Looks like just a dusting of snow out there for now.
68 degrees, wow!
Hmmmm...Tiger beer in a Miller lite Koozie. I wonder what the Beer Gods would say? Hoppy? He is the closest to a beer God that I know unless it would be TMMike our founder.
I find it difficult as well. I keep shop warm.t shirt warm. Doesent help when i have to open door though.
What !!!!! No love for the burger?
Some shots from the football game we went to on Sunday. Not very many Din Tai Fung restaurants in the U.S. but I'd recommend them if you see one, great dumplings.
Things you miss while overseas, burger for sure. When I was on a 6 month deployment to Misawa Japan I went stateside on emergency leave, co-worker begged me to bring back Taco Bell, which I did, amazing I got it through customs.
