I dont get why it was only on one side. Youd think it would be billateral.:33:

But I was able to drive it farther to the shop today so it is starting to morph from a project to vehicle:driver:

Today I dropped her back off at the shop who did the brake bleed. They had quoted $60 for brake adjustment, and e brake adjustment. I then got in mail $25 off, and "next time you stop by free oil change" text, so combined both and got all that for less than $40....
So glad I did because for some reason my rear driver shock bolt was missing a nut somehow...there was a stock v6 4x4 vitara there...

Is that to build you a bumper or just make brackets to mount one?
