i only spend about $30 a tire as it is, so i'm not worried about wear. it'll probably be, at least, a week before i do the front struts and get an alignment.

Tried filling my transfer case up in my truck, but didn't finish since I ran out of transmission fluid and I should have bought more than a gallon. I also did some searching on my transmission lines. After I figured it out, I blew all the crap out of the transmission cooler inside my radiator then I blew out the aftermarket cooler that I'm adding to it. I cut the original transmission lines and clamped some rubber hoses on them that were approved for transmission use. I didn't finish that either because I didn't buy enough hose. I also got my filler tube in for my transmission and that took awhile.
I started putting dual electric fans in, but stopped. I thought it was a good idea to change my body mounts on the radiator support first. I couldn't get the bolts loose so I give up for the night. I'll probably cut them off tomorrow.

I can pick up tires off Craigslist for $10 to $25 per tire all day long here. There'* so many people selling used tires around here it drives the price way down.

Well today I was going to do tranny pan drop and filter change, but a friend told me that I run a high risk of doing major damage with it having 120,000 miles. I just bought the car so I don't know if it'* ever been done! What do you guys think?

i dont know how you could damage the car by doing the proper scheduled maintenance, i like taking it to get it flushed because you cant easily get the fluid out of the torque converter and cooler/radiator
