    That is great.I got $50 in Dunkin Doughnuts gift cards, but not one red cent for Lowes,Hunky Dory, or any other authorized Rustoleum agent. Do you know how hard, not to mention embarassing it is standing just upstream of the drive-thru with your gift cards, trying to find some poor slob who doesn't want his Lowes card?

            You messing with my head? I'd swear that mirror was on the right side.

              I still say we should use boating nomenclature. Port side. Port side!

              Aaron, I'm glad that OD is making you happy. Be sure to watch the levels for the first few thousand as it's been out of service for a good while.

                  Aaron- That speedo cable doesn't look too happy with those tight radius bends in it.

                    Spent last night and this afternoon wiring in a set of 4 led strips from Ikea for interior lighting as well as redoing a bunch of generations of PO wiring. The Ikea LEDs were intended for domestic use but didn't work out, especially when I noticed they were 12volt. I routed the wires through the roofs inner cross u channels (no liner) to keep it somewhat clean. 2 LEDs up front above the driver and passenger door and 2 staggered in back. Works quite nice and was pretty cheap for LEDs.

                    Also started installing a cigarette lighter, spent a long time debating where to put the plug and decided to make a new plate where the RHD handbrake cover is on the passenger seat box. Enough holes drilled in the truck already. Had to stop in the midst of routing the wire to the main fuse terminal, but when I finish I'll take it for a spin and try it out on a cheap cigar.

                      Yeh. I've been trying to figure a place to route that

                          I think the cable wants to go under the overdrive, near the face of the transfer case. If you look over the case of the overdrive, I bet you will see the wear marks from where the speedo cable was rubbing in it's prior installation.

                            Started to swap out the rear crossmember on my ex mod 109. Took longer than i thought to cut the old one off. Used my desert tan powder coat on a bunch of interior parts and they came out great. Once i get the new crossmember on and fix one of the front horns it will be put back together time!

                              Replaced all the bushings on the front suspension on my trail D1 for a day up at Rausch Creek. So much quieter now....

                                I hooked a wire (aka the key) to the fuses, pushed the magical button, and it cranked right up, I pulled it out from the garage, pushed my four wheeler into the garage right behind it, then pulled it back in the garage for it's hibernation period... I will miss it for a month or two.
