Whut? A little air never hurt anything. 'Twas fun, tho. Felt like 17 all over again. lol.

Only took about 20 min to pop the spring back in its bucket and put a new retaining strap on. It's was a very non-elegant solution, I can tell you that much!

But seriously, for a $600 truck, it's been great. I've put right around 20k on it since I've had it. Runs a little warm in traffic, but still gets me 14-15 mpg on average and 18+ on the highway. I'm surprised how well those cheapo tires have held up considering these wonky front ends. It's proven itself to be a great little truck.

Back during the winter there was about 10-12" of snow on the ground and I was going to help a buddy move some rolls of hay. He was in a late model dually Ford with those glorious automatic hubs ( juuuunk). He was concerned that my little truck couldn't handle the rolls. We both loaded up three rolls each and were leaving when his front end refused to lock. Even manually. So I drove around him, hooked the chain to him and strolled on out of the bottom. lol. He don't like to talk about that much.
