Title: This Weather Sucks!
Post by: 01sahara on June 06, 2009, 09:37:28 AM: Well the weather sucks.

No wheeling for me today, but I still have lots of wrenching left to do. Plan one and plan two for wrenching projects fell through, so on to plan three. My new snorkel is here so off two the garage to drill holes in my jeep and install the snorkel.

Lost, as in it rolled away and couldn't be found, or lost as in it fell out when the shock went?

Sounds like bar pin eliminator time :) I just bought heavy-duty bar pins but plan on going to eliminators when I can.

The weather was great up in Jasper (sunny and warm), but not long after we left there yesterday we ran into rain/snow all the way back until we got to Calgary, then it quit for a while. It was snowing hard at Bow Summit.

lost as in fell out and i picked it up and popped it back in .. still a pain in the butt
