Helped rescue a buddy's truck that broke down. Ugh, don't ever buy a trailer


And this was after helping another buddy move. We left his house and buddy #1's truck died like 5 miles out. Of course I had my phone on mute/no vibrate so I had a bunch of missed calls and texts once I got home He said it sputtered out and he just saw my tail lights heading off into the night noooooooooooo, come back!!!!!


And a pic just because

Got the transmission dipstick tube replaced. It broke the day before we were leaving on a short trip (about 1000 miles round trip, towing a trailer on the way back).
The guys at Blues transmission in San Jacinto, CA really helped me out. Squeezed me in on a busy day and the price was 1/5 of what the dealership wanted.
So we will be on our way in about an hour......

Finally, front brakes and bearings done.

EBC pads and Powerstop rotors... very nice to stop without shuddering!

New plate every 7 years in FL, Weird! they are good for the life of the vehicle here doesn't matter the number of owners or age.

Took the Ex to lunch today, it's been a long weekend shoveling my roof had to borrow a snow blower from the guy next door since mine was too small to move the piles.

Last week I installed my Navigator steering wheel but wired it up temporary until my other parts arrived and they did. I finally connected everything like it came this way from factory.

I purchased the following wedgelocks in order to use my current connector. These are the .110 wedgelocks not the .060 that are used in the mirrors.




I crimped the 7 wedgelocks for a good fit and OEM look.




All wires in their places.



I also installed the steering wheel control for my Pioneer stereo using the SWI-CP5 controller.

I sure do like having all those steering wheel controls they are pretty cool.

New shoes all around, replaced a pigtail that was bad on #9 Cylinder, much needed vacuum from the hauling the fam around. Next up is revacuum, shampoo carpets, clean headliner, wash, wax, and detail.

Hate to start a thread for this... Anyone have the specs on the screws/bolts for the front license plate holder/bracket? It should be here today, but no hardware...

I've been contemplating the same, looking forward to seeing the pictures!

Mine got a wash, claybar and wax. Taking my daughter to preschool it starts to rain.

Installed front center jump seat and deleted the console. Made a custom lid to replace the broken plastic one. Concealed carry under the lid.

Forgot the best picture.



Everything moved over from the old console.

Just in time for my trip to the farm this week.
