Seems like everytime I go to do somthing. I find 10 more things wrong. Looks like the mods need to hold off a while til I can get some of the mechanical issues resolved.

I really hate to do all my bushings and ball joints, next spring its getting the 5 inch BDS lift. But its a daily driver and cant take the chances. $600 worth of suspension parts hurts though to only use for a year.

Got the plugs,wires cap, rotor and coil done over the weekend. Fuel milage still fluctuates. somedays good, some days bad.

i went with moog parts and just reused them when i did my bds lift.
i put roughly 4 months on the parts then just put them back on.

i replaced entire front end with moog...you can get great prices on those parts on ebay.
