Thanks all! I am beat. I will never attempt that job again by myself, especially on the floor.

 

He and I are both on the low mileage list. My 98 has a bit over 50,500. But my other car is a Harley...

 

Didn't you already do that place?

She didn't eat the tail, but did everything else

Shopping - check
Oil changed - check
wiper blades changed - check
u joints lubed - check
trash run - nope, got too late

neighbor was out while I was changing my oil.... turned around and my oil jug was gone he threw it on his burn pile - good thing I didn't need it for the old oil

 

Did you put in a single aal, or a 3 leaf progressive

 

There's quite a few 1rst gens on that list with under 90k miles or lower

 

It's the single. I'm putting air bags on for towing.

Just broke 40k but it had 22 when I got it. The 07 has 130k.

 

154k on an '11

 

Pfft. ‘16 and I’m at 36k. I ain’t got time to sit around. Places to see, things to explore.

 

146k on my 72 Camaro not bad for a 46yr old car that works out to be 3200miles per yr !!


I've only put 10k miles on it in 20yrs !!

 

75,600 on my '08

 

Will be in Tappahonock in two weeks. I love Virginia.

 

I just lucked into this whole low mileage thing. Low miles when I got it (44,000) and I have a short commute and I really don't have anywhere to go when I'm off work. And, when I do it's usually with my wife and she doesn't like the seating position so we take her truck.

 

Good evening Peeps! Finished another Ringer(40hrs) and back home chillin. It was a good week and I earned my Peppers it’s been full boar with patrons enjoying our Facilities.

It sits Nice Tim, Kudos for tackling it without a lift. It’s funny how our elbows take a beating at this age when laying on your back wrenching. 40 yrs ago it wasn’t a problem lol! I always slap on a old flannel shirt when I crawl under Taco. It helps.
As far as the Bro lean goes, they also call it Bulldog down in these parts. Hope y’all are enjoying the evening.

 

Yeah, it was rough on the floor. Double layer cardboard and knee pads helped. Hey, I never did get spacers for my driver's seat. What did you say you used?

 

I ended up just adding two fender washers to both rear mounting locations on the drivers seat and I’m happy with the results. I also swapped them over to the ‘17. With the washers you can add and subtract until your satisfied. Hope this helps.

 

Evening all!

What a day. I decided to install the billies with Toyotec springs, LR UCAs, and ECGS bushing. All went well until I noticed one of my alignment tabs were flattened. Soooo, I took the cam bolt out but needed to use the impact all the way out. Yup, the threads were all galled. Looks like when I had it aligned last summer the shop flattened a tab and used the impact to tighten the crap out of the bolt. 3 auto parts stores and tractor supply, no cam bolt or M14x1.5 die. Stopped at the hardware store and picked up a high strength 10.9 M14 nut and was able to chase the threads back to shape with that. But wait, there's more! The lower shock bolt seized to the sleeve and had to be cut. Hardware store had an appropriate size replacement. Bushing went in without issue. On Monday, it will be aligned at a tire shop. I must have waisted a healthy 3-4 hours messing with the cam bolt and cutting out the shock bolt. As I figured, the back and sciatica is burning.

 

Liked for the work accomplished not for the damage, difficulties, or pain.

 

Add to back bolts?

You have a 3 or 4 leaf pack ?
