Started replacing my diff bearings in the jeep thursday, found once of the races spun on the carrier. Special loctite and some punch work later I got that fixed only to find that the stock shims won't work. So had to go scrounge up a shim kit from the offroad shop. One day I'll buy something from there, great guys lol. Still not done.

Sunday was spent further disassbling the outboard. Got it packed up and shipped to a shop in OK for a rebuild on monday. Just the powerhead/short block. Damn dirt dobbers got everywhere on this boat. I would like to rebuild it myself but it's at least $1000 for me to do it and who knows how long vs $1500 and 3 weeks. Plus all the fancy tools I'd need, but those don't count against the budget right?

Default Mustang 2015 GT premium convertible

Over the past 4 weeks I have been working on following changes to the factory version of my Mustang GT premium convertible:


Blackened out 20" factory aluminum wheels
Blackened out all chrome emblems on the car
Painted brake calipers red
exchanged rear bumper reflectors with tinted LED ones from diode dynamics
installed sequencer cables to the rear lights
installed Roush axle back with black tips
Airaid new airintake
Ghost stripes with red outline (done by dedona in Greensboro, NC)
Tinted the windows (done by dedona in Greensboro, NC)


So now 4 weeks later and approx. 2000$ lighter - I consider my project finished. I have documented some of it here:

Awesome ride sir. I do wonder if it will stay "finished" or like the rest of us, keep spending money on something??
