Oh also put on my new...ish passenger side mirror on. This one actually stays where I put it. Had to use a pipe wrench to get the mirror off then had to use it again to free the bolt so I could hit it out

I thought about working on getting the engine back in. But ran out of motivation.

There should be two screws on the bottom of the mirror, on either side of the ball. If you tighten those, it should bring the ball pressure plate down and tighten up the mirror.

Replaced one of my rear shackle and hangers last night. Took me way too long to get it done. Took me from 8pm to 3:30am. The big issue was not being able to use power tools since it was so late. I'm hoping the other side doesn't take me as long since I now know how to do it faster. I also replaced my lower transcooler hose since it has been leaking since I bought her. Pretty easy job, only took me about 30 minutes.

Next job is to replace the other shackle & hanger, front wheel bearings and the u-joint. I'll also replace the shocks when I tackle the other shackle & hanger. Thinking of trying Rancho 5000s.
