Just my humble opinion, but I have always had good luck with Felpro gaskets.

Morning everyone.

Well, I got the PS hose replaced on the Jeep but it looks like the pump reservoir might also have a leak where it attaches to the pump. Won't know for sure until I can drive it.
I will have to get a new smog done on the vehicle since the one I got with it was over 90 days old. They offer no leeway on this. Apparently some of the people at the DMV were abusing the discretionary option and ruined it for everyone.

I spent most of the afternoon and early evening scraping off the cheap, faded, ripped, and bubbled window tint from the back doors and the rear hatch. I still have the 2 rear side windows to do. It was time for dinner and my hands were killing me.

Today I have some errands to run so I will check around to see what a generic set of stock all terrain tires might cost. I am still looking on CL, but I would prefer something new if it won't take the rest of the budgeted money to get them. I do still need to get a full gauge cluster to replace the idiot lights, both driver side outer door handles, and a drivers seat(if possible).

That sucks about having to get another smog for it. It sounds like the problems it has are minor, so I am sure you will get it up to "code" soon.

Nope, the IT ****'s here have Photobucket blocked. They did decide to give us Craigslist and YouTube back, for whatever reason.
