well today was a hot day! i satrted by puting the bushing in the leafs and installing the leaf on the frame, then i cleaned up some parts and painted the stuff in the tent, then my girlfriend uncle ask me to weld him up a set of ramp for his 4 wheeler so i did, after that my sun was giving a show at school so i went, then i got the painted part in place and hung the front diff in place, i was unlucky and the jack sliped, but no one got hurt and there is just a few scratch on the housing ill fix it when its done,lol, then i got the shock back in place , then i took picture....lol

here are the pics of the day, enjoy!
