No I went with the 82c (180f) thermostat even though it's winter here in Wisconsin. But the temps were good, 177-195f at the highest while I picked up the Christmas tree

Decent price if you have prime. I went lazy and used some rtv on the housing to put it back together. The gasket I ordered was wrong. It's pretty easy to swap out. Loosen hose clamp on upper hose. Remove two thermostat housing bolts. Remove housing, pull out thermostat. Clean mating surfaces. Put her back together. Refill with coolant.

Replaced original turn signal stem with new. Had no tail lights or dash lights when I turned on the head lights. Oddly, I did have both dash and tail lights when using just the 'city lights' .

Also went to the hydraulic shop and bought new o-rings for my bottle jack.

Pre-winter detail. Also got a new battery and ordered a new reservoir tank as the current one has a crack and leaks like a Discovery sunroof.

That'll be nice to not get blinded when walking back to the truck after hooking up the winch rope

love the bed liner / head liner! I used same prices but looks like you paid a little more attention to details.

Loooks great

With regret, I've decided to put my SE7 in the chopping block and finish up my 00' TreK.

- swapped in new rear pads and the squeal is gone. Replacements are Wagner Thermo quiet pads (MX518) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000CQTO6I...ermoquiet+pads .

- removed front seat bottom covers and dropped them off at the upholsterer for repair.

Can you p back when you get the seat bottoms back? I'm curious what something like that will run. I kind of like that idea more than trying to retrofit something into by '94 and '95 D1's.
