Well update time...I have the bolts, Roger is ordering the washer and nuts so some where near around $100-$120 later i'll be able to finish putting the lift on once I manage to get the other bolts out...

Then I have to replace the clutch fan and i'm hoping to get an Aussie before GSNE (if I make it at this rate) since I got old 2nd job (I had two before I got promoted at one) wants me back and guaranteed me a spot this summer at Texas Roadhouse :D So 60-70 hour weeks but what else would I be doing anyways.

Picture time:

What $22 bolts look like:

New fan clutch to be installed after the lift:

All my parts...probably pushing a $1300 or more and thats not including my rear jks trac bar :D You also can't see the $400+ in tools i've acquired that Roger so kindly blocked...

Dinner time!!! We took the two "cleanest" looking screwdrivers I had and well, we ended up with this...

looks good.gotta love the 60 hour weeks.how else are we supposed to support our habit?
Yeppers... It'll be like 6a-2p at my main job mon-fri - Managing a Kroger Gas Station but thats cake...i'll be on my laptop most of the time lmao. Then around 25-30 hours/week at Texas Roadhouse a few nights a week from like 4-10/4-11. :D Good money though and I can bank some for the Fall until I get my ROTC stuff sometime after the Fall semester (i'm pretty set on it as of now).
 
im just working 7 days a week at one place with a couple doubles.sucks but pays the bills
You do what ya gotta do... :( I'm moving in a week too so I gotta spend money on furniture and crap...I hate those one time expenses that seem like a ton. lol. Oh well, I just need to bank so I can take it easy work wise in the Fall with my course load until I sign with ROTC for sure or not and get money from that stuff and I'll probably stop working more or less and just focus on class and ROTC stuff.
 
why did you buy a new fan clutch?
just swap in an efan
Because the stock cooling system works just fine when functioning properly, especially with the 180 degree thermostat the performance ecu calls for. And the only real good efan solution (ie doing it right with sensors and stuff) is outrageous when I can spend $40 and have free life time replacement and not an electrical mess to worry about. Plus I can spend that extra money on my locker fund then a winch and stuff.

Agreed, its a wise upgrade to do (e-fan and all) but if you dont have the cash or the means then stick with what works. Ill be doing the same thing unless I come across a decent fan that will work for me. Plus I dont want to be bothered with switches so I would want it to kick on by itself and I just have too many other things to do right now. Good stuff!
