Did you have any trouble taking the o2 sensors out?

No I used a little wd40 before I left to pick them up at advanced auto. The upstream one came out real easy. The downstream I had to use the rubber mallet to hit the wrench, but that did the job. Took no time at all.

Ran to the gas station real quick. Came out to see a small coolant leak. Drove straight home. By then the temp was up and no leak. Let it cool and checked the fluid. It was still at full. But there's fluid coming from one of the edge seams. I don't have the $ for a new rad for a few weeks, and I'm wary about the "quick fix" bottles at the parts store. So should I grab one from the jy to hold over or can the cans of fixer work for a few weeks?

The white front clip was on there when I bought it, some idiot backed up into the grill. I've had the new bumper since last winter

changed the coolant a couple months back. It looked like coffee. Now it looks like tea. So I drained the system. Added some flush (again) and ran it. Drained flush fill and run again. Now I just have to wait for it to cool off and flush and fill with coolant. Got nice hot heat now. It was kinda like just sort of warm. Whoo Hoo!

Bottle of Bars Leaks that has the pellets in the liquid. It will seal it. And it will not f up your heater core as many will tell you.

Attached my camping hammock to it then went out and flexed it so I could put in my hockey puck bumpstops. I need to trim more
