I just used those rollers from Lowes mentioned in one of the write-ups. Heated them in boiling water and popped them on.

Default She did it folks.. she really did it! :)

Ok.. so I know it may not seem like much for some but today was a very big and exciting day for me. I changed my own oil! YES. I. DID. I even changed out the oil filter. Didn't know a girl could have SO much fun on the Saturday before Christmas You'll have to forgive my appearance.. I have motor oil on my jeans, I caught the clamp lamp in my ponytail and there's a little dust on my bum but overall it wasn't so bad. A special call-out and thanks to my bud on the forum who walked me thru it. I really appreciate it!

Replaced all interior and exterior lights, except headlights, with LEDS. Now I have the fast blinking turn signals, saw a way to fix it but doesn't bother me very much. Also, replaced the inside of the back door with wood. Saw it on ruggedguide's facebook. Mine isnt' as pretty as theirs, but one day it will be.

I imagine some alternate blinker relays may be able to correct this.. Unfortunately all these older vehicles use the current draw from the bulbs to help time the circuit..
