Two deliveries, yesterday.

Got the overhead console so I could replace the lights, got the whole thing because I could not find just the piece I needed. I guess now I have spare parts or parts to sell.



Got a new to me bumper to put on the ol' girl until I can find the right Ranch Hand at a decent price.



Which brings me to my a question about the overhead removal. I saw just one screw holding this up, I believe it was in the sunglasses bin. Is this correct?

After the por set up a little I took a syringe and injected por-15 into the clip holes for the lower rubber piece. So the whole bottom crack of the door should be submerged and sealed once dry with POR-15. The passenger side front door just had a little minor surface rust just starting at the seam, I also cleaned that door up and injected it as well with por. Tomorrow I will be able to paint it back white and eventually put the rubber back on.














I know this will annoy you but I want to know. Which camera you have used to take these shots? They are really damn good shot?

Sarcasm? The camera can take good shots, I know most of those pics aren't the best.

The camera is a sony dsc-v3

Took the Ex camping last weekend - Alabama hills. For those interested there's a 315/75R16 in the rear and a 305/70R16 in front. I know AlaskanEx, yet another mismatched rim.

Wow, double wide post on this page...

Oh, yeah. And the 315 will fit in the back with a longer eyebolt, but not the zipped cover.

Nice bushwacker lines on the body Sean. I like seeing the X really used. Reminds me of my days in Arizona with my old 4x4 Yota

Happy Friday Higger and all!!! I got my over head console lights swapped out and working. It got dark on me so I had to use my head light as my son likes to call it... Now I'm fully lit up in LED. All is right with the world.
