Hand wash n wax. Installed the garage door opener from my 98. Discovered the PO left the hardware for the positive battery terminal out. Used a large nut and a step drill the kinda give it a cone shape. Then ground the head of a stainless machine screw into a rectangle. Put it all together now she's nice n tight

Got both sunroofs working. The rear would open but wouldn't close. Turned out it was grounding out close to the sunroof control module compliments of the overhead map storage. Don't know if it was me or the previous owner but taped it all up and made damn sure it wasn't gonna have a screw going through it again.

Default Jeff.

These are the straps, four in a bag. They do not ratch, you pull them tight and then the handle levers over to tighten them more.



We have some different styles, but I was short on time yesterday...so searching through binds was limited.

I fixed my headlights, well, I have them in solid. The tabs on the are long gone and had to drill out the top screw nuts and plasti-weld some new ones in. Now to get them clear again.

After finding out the allmakes rubber bushings wouldn't fit the radius arms, I picked up a set of the Britpart Poly bushes. Arm to axle popped in super easy.

Arm to frame, not so easy.

I made this stupid contraption - hitch vise plate, trailer hitch, some 2" fittings, a strut compressor bolt, and a breaker bar. I thought it was going to work - had the bushing in over half way... but it just won't go any further. A press is needed... back to the shop
