Re: Rat repair.

Called and talked to ORD today to get info on the greasable shackles with the frame bushings, if course i find out that to get the greasable bolts for both front and back of the new springs i'll have to pull the springs and remove the stock bushings from both ends and reinstall ORD's bushings. I could have given up and just ordered a set of Prothane bushings for the frame elsewhere and run the stuff i have, but as frozen as some of the Rancho hardware was and how much it rains around here i decided it was worth the money and wait to get the ORD stuff, besides maybe this storm front will blow over in a couple days?

There was a possible tornado just 10 minutes down the road from the house this morning, tore portions of the roof off a couple businesses and lifted a car up long enough to have building material get logged under the wheels..

In the mean time i found out yesterday that i still have a leak problem, my carpet and underlayment is pretty wet so for the time being i tied a tarp over the cab and cowl area but i know pretty soon i'll probably have to pull the seat and get the carpet out so it will dry out.
