Replaced rear wiper blade & arm wiped out in the snow at Grand Canyon $35 AB. Replaced a front wiper blade arm that had tie wire holding the blade to it $25 (used). Installed a ladder on the back $80 AB. replaced the spare tire so the cover fits on it $20 (used tire). Installed a hitch $75 (from the junk yard included bolts).

Removed headliner and threw it in the back yard hoping it will fly away. Driving without a headliner isn't as bad as I thought it would be. Installed sub woofer two weeks ago $120 ($50 for (2) 6.5 subs $35 for the old speakers and frame and $35 for the cover and grill)
only took about 2 hours to install, already had an aftermarket amp mounted under the drivers seat.

Replaced the spark plugs with Champion Copper Plus. Replaced the PS hoses with hoses I made. Gear box still leaks, but now the PS leaks half as much as it used to...

Dropped my front drive shaft and Learned I need to rebuild it. Started tinting my windows. Seems easy. As long as you have a garage to avoid wind. Picked up one set of new ome 766 springs. Other set of 763 are coming in tomorrow. Picked up four new (to me) shocks to handle the additional lift while I find good ones, got two rear shock mount converters to accept loop to loop. Badgered ******* on eBay about where my hawse fairlead was....again

In my head those were cooler.
I tinted my windows yesterday. It's a lot easier than I expected. There's some sort of locknut on my spare though, so I can't get it off, so the back glass and the alpines will wait a bit

it was a 3M tint, you'll have to ask longhaul, its his. but im pretty sure it's 20% And i think it's perfect as far as depth of color. It's not to much and it's not too little. if they made a 15 i might go there but a 10 or 5 would be too much

fyi. turns out, all the windows EXCEPT the back gate are easy, i'm gonna re try that one tomorrow. haha
