    Rotated tires, cleaned up some corrosion on rear drums, and changed fluid in front/rear diff and xfer case, and greased prop/drive shaft. Going to change spark plugs tomorrow.

    Do you discard the rubber gasket that goes over / around the bulb? Don't see how you would get it over the fan assembly? Never mind, I see the gasket in the pics.

    No.... the bulb and fan assembly are separate. You need the boot to keep dust out of the lens assembly.

    Once again.... All included in this thread

    Installed my replacement spc upper control arms with the spec ride bushings and got aligned. The ride is night and day better, anyone with the old bushings needs to call spc and get the replacement bushings sent to them. I was able to get 100% brand new control arms for a core charge and I'm sending my old ones back. Highly recommend it.

    Got new headlights and painted the grill surround. Don't look too close though, as it was drying it fell off the hook I had it on and screwed up the top.:mad: But from this picture it looks okay. Next on the list is new wheels and tires.

    Got my new Hankook ATM's rotated for the first time today ( second set, 1st set gave me 73,200 miles ), got it washed in the pull thru car wash, towel dried it off. Still looks sharp after 6 1/2 years. :)

    A slew of pricey stuff my wife hates me for.
    Washed off the mud and filth, exposing the dents and scratches. So depressing.
