No heater motor this morning. Get to work...check fuse...blown...naturally. Luckily, it was only 19 degrees...now, if it had been cold...may have put a bullet in her...and called it a day...lol.

Every turn of the ignition is an adventure with these things.

Brian.

My 2000 SD D2 had 82K when I got it. No history, no papers. No issues. Run cool. Just few minor issues (brake job). Dailey driver. Take my daughter to gymnastics, 120 mile round trip. Runs smooth. My green rover is scratched up, paint fading but I do love it. Thanks to the guys on here. I have gotten several loose ends fixed. My kids love riding in the disco. Its a love/love... no hate yet....

Got two of those 265/65r18s on the little lady's truck. Not a ton of tread left on them, but enough to get through the summer. Better than the ones that had worn down to the bands on one side. Looks a whole lot better, too.

That reminds me of some old Maryland redneck friends, Monty only got around to doing the the flames on the left front fender of their '65 Impala wagon. At least he eventually got two more mags for the right.

Played face lift today. Kind of annoying to do this job alone but the Wifey came and helped right at the end. Have to do some fabrication to the brush guard so that'll go on at a later point. I kinda dig the 2-tone

Milwaukee 6 in. Folding Jab Saw and sandpaper. I can't remember the grit but I used two. One to remove the edge from the saw cut and the other a fine grit to smooth out the edges. Actually, block sandpaper for the smoothing of the edges. Painters tape to tape off the line you want to cut. I removed my end caps from the bumper and did the project from a tabletop. I also practiced my first cut on a spare end cap before cutting the one's for the truck. Now, if you aren't a perfectionist and just want to cut the suckers off, use whatever you got and let er' rip.
