    A little diagnostic update: Plugged the exhaust hole by installing a SS strap over it. However, the Tick Tick Tick is still there! Turns out it must be a wheel bearing. Put it up on jack stands and spun the rear wheel to verify. Hard to tell where the noise id coming from sometimes. The...

    Got the alignment done yesterday, and drove it around for a couple of hours today! Have a few issues that need to be addressed right away: Tick tick tick noise. Could it be an exhaust tick’? Checked all of the wheels and it doesn’t seem to be them. There is a small hole in the exhaust. See...

Decided to clean up some more stuff under the hood. Blasted and Cerakoting the air filter housing. Also going to do the valve...

    Discovered the old hose mounting brackets had been getting some rust. Pulled them off for a quick blast and epoxy paint treatment. Appliance epoxy stands up to cleaners pretty well so hopefully brake fluid doesn't affect it much. Baking them for 1 hour at 350

    This evening was able to put nice new blue boots on the rear shocks and install them. Jacked up the front before running out of daylight. Going to put extended braided lines on the front calipers. See in the picture the old rubber hose stretched to the max.
