Well I got my transmission rebuilt and installed last night/today. I have been chipping away at it as much as possible. Tomorrow I'm going to try to get the exhaust and suspension in. Looks like I might actually meet my goal of having this beast road worthy by next weekend.

Well I had blowout with 7 passengers tonight and all but 1 lug came off so I had to get it towed after breaking 3 breaker bars and killing the battery on a 1500lb impact wrench... FYI the wheel bearings are brand in the rear (where he flat was) and they were put on at the dealer who (I guess) strongly overtightened the lugs and now have caused me this issue... So irritated and will never use this dealership again if I can help it.

I would be fuming. I got a flat in my wife's Mazda last winter and while I did manage to get the lugs off with a cross wrench, my upper back was killing me for days from the force required to get them off.

What ever bill I walk into here at this little tire shop I'm calling and bringing it right to the dealership because what should've been a 10 minute spare tire swap left me stranded for 3 hours last night and now I'm going to miss classes on Monday due to having no vehicle to get there

Anyways, I have my full-size spare from my old H2 so instead of buying 4 new tires in stock size I may put on the lift kit and just get 3 more 315/70r17 BFG KOs for the time being until I can get money for so aftermarket wheels... That's all hoping I can find 3 of them for cheap though
