        Thanks man!

        The house hunt is taking a while, lol. Our realtor wanted to find us one by end of June, but of the houses we've looked at, the one we both love is owned by an auction company that isn't very willing to negotiate. We'll get there!

          I'm back at it again!

          Very carefully scraped the rust off of the rear axle where the brake lines meet it, then rust proofed and painted it. I also finally have a full matching set of tires!

            Cooper Cobras to boot. They are high around here. Did you get yours local or online somewhere?

              I had the 255/60's on the rear done about two years ago, bought them myself then took them to a shop. Now the 235/60's that I just put up front, I had a local shop do the purchase and install. Coopers are cheaper here than the BFG's, and I like how they're a little more aggressive, lol.

                        House hunting = sucks! Made an offer on one we both loved, couldn't get them to go low enough for us to afford it.

                          I did finally wash it! I also had to put a new positive battery cable on it today. Stupid thing left me stuck at WalMart yesterday until I finally got a connection from wiggling the wire enough...

                            Had that happen to us on a few occasions. Two turned into bidding wars (This homie don't play dat..) and the one was pretty awesome, lots of property with a house plunked right in the middle, but no dice as they didn't want to come down any.

                            That car looks really good, I dig it man. If my Fury was comfy and didn't hurt my back & neck when I drove it, I'd have kept it.

                                I also finally fixed my blower motor so that it's not running on a toggle switch anymore! I wonder why it wasn't working...
