Image Today i pulled my blower motor out to figure out why it was making so much noise, and i found out the bushing between the shaft and housing of the motor ate itself (anyone ran into this problem yet? i have a solution get a 5/16 compression fitting and put it on and lube it and re assemble (wish i would have done a write up..) And i also fixed my exhaust as much as i could... no exhaust shop in laramie..

Well, the tire and rim place put the wrong offset or rim on the back and it spun a spring out of where it should sit, i hit a bump.. the spring broke.. so... has anyone heard of the the brand VOGTland springs? probably gonna order some if they're a decent quality.

glad to see more rabbits! if you shave the bumper holes, make sure you add in a contingency plan, there arent many places to hood onto a lowered rabbit, if for some reason it needs a tow, ask me how i know :banghead:
