what does hanging up mean? did you have to replace all your fluid? thanks.
Blew AC fuse again... This fuse blows once a month it's getting annoying now.
Last year summer everyday was 75 degree or less rarely we get over 80. This year you'd be lucky to get a day below 90 for god sake!

Got my 1.5" spacers (hub centric) in the rear and they're a tad bit aggressive imho. Well, it was the quickest option as anything under 1.5 required shorter studs and I really didn't want to blow too much mullah. Maybe it will grow on me but it definitely sticks out quite a bit more (but I kind'of knew what I was getting into). I don't know, maybe you guys convince me to keep em or loose em?

The front is already pretty wide and with either the 24's with their 35mm offset or the new 26s and their 25mm offset they will protrude a bit. Hence why i stuck the spacer in the rear (only!) as their typically tucked in. The factory 44mm offset 20s were flushed up front and tucked pretty good in the rears. Though the new 26s give the rear a bit more track-width, i still wanted to even it out with the front. Since I don't want to cut my studs and I can't find anything shorter then stock (to use 1" spacers) i may get some 1/2" spacers or just leave it stock.
Strangely, I found the car a bit more responsive, especially the throttle (I have the occasional, dreaded, shutter mis-fires from the crappy 3-piece sparky's). And the ride is a bit more smoother seeing how I initially lost a bit of quality due to the new wheel/tire setup. I'm taking a couple-hundred mile trip this weekend and I'll see if these improvements are legit over a few days.

Changed the oil. 198,6xx miles.
Thanks for the feedback folks, and I've siding on removing the spacers. I'll get it done on Monday when I'm free.

What the hell happened to the expi today, driving down the highway doing 80 when suddenly my belt starts screaming (very loud squealing) then the engine started smoking heavily so I pulled over right away and popped the hood open thinking something is on fire by now.
Couldn't see anything at first but once the smoke dissipated I realized the tensioner pulley had locked up and the belt was just rubbing on it. Thank god I was only a mile away from the nearest Autozone. Replaced the belt and tensioner on the shoulder and it's fine now but man wtf kinda crap is this. I was one pissed off **** doing the repair I can't say I didn't yell and kick the expy once or twice in the process.
I got home, parked it and chucked the keys across the street, I havent retrieved them yet and I'm seriously considering torching the damn truck. Screw it I'm not driving it for a week I bet something will be broken next time I go to start it
