    It's all good. That's why it just sits in the garage in between wheeling and camping trips!

    Also bought a 90 degree coax elbow so that the cb would sit more flush. Took out the bracket holding the external speaker so I would have more room on the ARB switches.

    Anyone know what this could be? I noticed the other day when I came to a red light I could hear something rattling in the middle of the dash behind the 2 AC vents. I gave the dash a good ol slap and it didn't go away, which is weird cause slapping something usually fixes most issues haha. But anyway I turned the heater control knob from cool to heat and then back to cool and it went away. The next day same thing, and I turned the knob again and it went away

    Anyone interested in a locking glove box latch? I've got 2 of em and of course you'd have to get it fitted to your ignition key or they can make you a new key at a locksmith.

    I believe I paid about $15 to have them create a key for mine. I'll be posting up a FS thread later tonight.

    Yes, it is. They are off my project truck. Odd things where the PO's favorite thing to do haha.

    lol! That's the truth. Racecar carnage right there.

    I wish, but in due time. Hopefully it will grow shortly after I'm out of college.

    Rebuilt the starter, then spent entirely too long doing my rear suspension. Added an add a leaf to my wheeler's 5 pack and some 10" 5125's. I gained 3"+ of droop. Gonna see what's up with the tuck when I have time. Now my rear arches are 41.5" and my fronts are 39.5". I figure once I throw my motorcycle in the bed the leaf will settle a little.

    Makes sense... I always wondered why they mount the shocks opposite like that. Let us know how it works out. I've been good... Pretty busy lately.

    Did you clear coat it?

    If not, it'll be hazed up within a couple of months.

    Not yet, I thought the kit came with a clear coat. Unfortunately that wasn't the case.


    Can I use regular auto body (paint) clear coat?
