the bumper i may end up letting whoever does my tires...hate the thoughts of paying for a diy project but i think i lack the upper arm strength to do it alone. grrr.

so what's in minnesota...besides cold lol?!?
Yes need some pics, it may be something not that hard to figure out.

I havn't dealt with moving a front bumper yet, but you could jack it or put something under it as you go...

My buddy is getting married and he asked me to be best man, I like getting out on the road and havn't flown since I got out of the army and don't feel like being trapped in a plane.

I think I may have fixed the leak tthat is vexing me by backing the bolts out and puting silicone on the threads.

Your door look anything like this......wrong year I think

Good morning all. Sorry I haven't posted in here before now but just wanted to say hello to all of my fellow Virginians. Hope all is well and you are enjoying the same 75degree weather we're having here in sunny far SW VA.
