Drive safe Sam!

Today I drove over to Dartmouth Dodge (the roads in Dartmouth were absolutely horrid!) and picked up my required power steering line for the Overland and come home and removed the airbox and installed it. After reinstalling the airbox, and topping off the PS fluid, she's no longer spewing it out, and nice and quiet again B) ! Tomorrow it's getting a new ball joint and bushings in the rear upper A-arm to get rid of the clunking sound there :) ! I will get a chance to use my new ball joint press for the bushings!

Ordered parts today. Warn VR8000, Rough Country stubby winch bumper /w foglight cutouts, 50in curved Cree LED light bar+ mounting brackets & wire harness, 4x skyjacker shocks and got a set of 4dr rubi springs lined up.

With a bit of luck everything will be in by end of next week and I can maybe get started installing it.
