5/16 sounds about right... I have miles of 1/4 inch drip lines in my yard and my garden, and the tube I broke was just a little bigger than that. Thanks for the heads up.

Got rid of the 2004 D2.

We had bought it off of my sis-in-law for $4k a couple of years ago. We've had nothing but trouble with it since. Agreement was, she'd buy it back from us when we got our vehicles upgraded. Well, the deal we made came up a couple of months ago, and she threw a tantrum about it. Haven't talked to her since. We finally found a truck we wanted, bought it, and dropped hers off at her house. Expensive lesson, don't deal with family without writing stuff down.

After replacing all the bearing in the belt pulleys there was still a squeak. Found out that the center bolt that holds the cluch plate on the a/c compressor was missing. Fyi the bolt that holds the front quarter pannells on work just fine as a replacement.

Got stuck in park in CVS parking lot. Ended up having to replace the brake switch on the back of the brake pedal. Removal of the bad switch will allow you to get out of park but your brake lights will stay on.

Today I installed the 3 lb fire extinguisher my brother gave me for Christmas. I mounted it to the plastic trim piece under the driver's seat that hides the adjustment rails, fuse block, and amp. With it mounted there, it's not in my way, yet it's easily accessible, I can grab it as I exit the vehicle in an emergency, and it's not likely to become a missile and knock me out if it breaks loose on a bumpy section of trail.

Replaced burned out light bulb on my PIAA fog lights. Replaced the stock blinkers on my arb bumper with some whelen TIR6 strobes. They don't have the built in internal flasher so they blink normally. Much brighter light out put.

Alignment done! Also got new Cooper Adventurer A/T (255/70/16) Love 'em
While I was on a roll, I decide to check out the leaking washer reservoir. I got lucky... the hoses were worn out and wouldn't stay on. Bought new hoses and now have front and rear washers.
