    Pulled the drive shaft. Odd vibration that I wasn’t sure of. Knew I needed to upgrade anyway. So ran this in to a reputable shop to get that done. This was a result of my Rubicon trip a few months back. Won’t get my new stuff til early next week.

    There's dozens of us, dozens! Haha

    As for me, most recent thing I did was install my core shifter short throw. Any of you 6 speed guys absolutely reccomend this. Makes shifting great again.

    Nice, how is it down there lately? I haven't been down there since my last day of work. Heard it's a ghost town.

    Nice guys! What did you end up using? I think I'm going to go run with these. I want it to be as sturdy as possible.

    This is an excellent suggestion. Try to never mix paint brands. Sem makes excellent quality products so stick with them.

    #SpanosSucks indeed.

    It is like a ghost town. The boat ramps were opened and very few took the opportunity. They wouldn't let anyone park in the parking spaces that didn't have a boat trailer hooked up to their vehicle. I asked the rent a cop why and he said "social distancing". I find that odd since the Walmart parking lot is packed 24/7. I guess the Coronavirus has a stay away order at Walmart idk.

    If you pop each side of the shifter assembly starting with passenger side first, you should be able to remove the chrome piece. I left it all together and painted as one.
