Ryan, If you are real cheap like myself, and have AT&T head to Walmart, buy the Samsung Smart Phone Go Phone for under 60 bucks, pull out your old sim card, slide it in the Go Phone and have at it, email, camera, video, text, internet etc all for the cheap. Even has a slot for a extra SD card to add extra storage. You also wont cry if you drop it in water so much. Matt

Thanks Matt. I currently have UScellular but will keep this in mind. I think I got my phone fixed now. We'll see how it acts after a couple days.

I didn't get much time to work in the garage this weekend. I did get quite a bit done on the exhaust for the blue ford though. On Saturday, I had to baby sit the boys while momma and my daughter were at a girl day. On Sunday we took them to the zoo and a park afterwards because it was the last day of their spring break. Here is a picture of my cross member. I'm going to get it put on this week.

I've been dreading this day for a while because I didn't want to screw it up. But, I have to say, it went really well. The welder's series instructions are thorough and explain what you need to do and why.

I measured everything 3-15 times, and finally cut the notches in the cross member, leveled it and tacked it in place. Rechecked, then welded it in place. It's already so much nicer than what was done before. I still have to weld on the boxing plates. I'm going to box in the lower area too since I have tubular a arms. Tomorrow I'm hoping to get the uppers done. Then I can put the control arms on and work out my air bag mounts.
