I was planing to go to junkyard to find another actuator just to have it so i can practice opening it but I realized that the dome light doesnt turn on when i open the drivers door, it does turn on when i open the right front door. Which made me wonder about an electrical issue.
What would happen if I split the wires from the passanger side front door and run them into the driver side actuator? So whenever the passanger door opens/closes, drivers should do the same thing. I cant find the meaning and task of each wire which goes into the actuator.
oh also, I found a cool Freelander brush guard in the junk yard for less than 50$!! I should write it on their part of the forum in case if someone needs it.

It's the radius arm probably... or the front bumper

Got the y-pipe all welded up and new gaskets put in. It finally sounds like a v8 and not like I'm driving a small plane.

Avg mpg dropped a little bit though. I'm not embarrassed to accelerate anymore.

I Scored a pair of cup holders on ebay for $5!!!! I've been eyeing some of these cup holders for a long time now but $50 was always better spent on other things. $5 I can live with

Installed a much needed serviceable front propshaft. Old one was 104K miles old but still one piece. Did have a little vibe to it though, it may have been getting ready to go.

Went to a local park and played with some friends. My Landy and a 4-Runner. Conditions were a bit more wet than I like. Near the entrance there were a few trenches filled in with water. The long shallow one was easily cleared by both. I decided to try the short one that was a bit deeper. NOPE!! Got in just fine, and slugged it to the other side, where there was a 75* exit angle. My brush guard dug in, and while struggling, keeping revs up, tires clawing at the goopy mess, I was only advancing an inch every 30 seconds. So, I attempted to reverse out of the trap. That went fairly well until my rear differential sank into the glop. First time I have ever had to be recovered by another vehicle. I think I would have needed 44" tires to get through that pit.

Did the fenders, 6-8 coats. However you can see the part that was sun faded still. I sanded, prepped, etc. I wonder how many coats it would take to hide that difference? It feels smooth, but you can see the difference in the black.
