Well congrats, I got 4 years until I can choose to say that. Dang, if I can make 25 it would be insane. Anyhow, thanks for your service.

Update, the striker isn't the sliding type like older vehicles. It has 2 holes and the bolts are counter sunk so even it you slide it ahead, when you tighten them, it goes back to the same spot. I adjusted it from the hinge points up front. I don't think it closes quite as smoothly anymore but it definately passed my paper test. I started and I could pull the paper out with little to no effort. now it is pretty damn tight in there. A road test will tell the truth.

What did you use to support the door while you were adjusting the bolts?

Ahhh, time for the hydraulic floor jack! Stop by the house after work...I've got a new 12 ton jack just dying to be tried out. Since you're traveling so far, I'll make sure the beer fridge is stocked!
