Speaking to who?

 

replaced rear wiper

 

Did away with the factory headlight plug and ran wires to the only dash lights I need. Spade connectors fit much better them the lose fitting factory connectors. Thinking of adding load carrying relays for the running lights.

 

First off, I got my LED reverse lights in the mail today so I put those suckers in, and I'm pretty satisfied with them:




Then i installed my WWII 20mm cannon round as a driver side grab handle:






Then I finally replaced the broken plate that holds the hatch latch in place so that the hatch doesn't violently shake every time I hit a small bump. I used 1/8 in plate instead of the crappy 1/16 in sheet metal thats stock:

 

Looks nice but two pieces of rope through plastic trim? What's going to be grabbing onto that, a squirrel?

 

Its 550 cord and it goes though the plastic and is bolted to the body. I was able to put about half my weight on it and it didn't budge.

 

I put in the same reverse lights and they suck ***

 

The one I got aren't all bad, I picked them up for 8 bucks for the pair so I wasn't expecting much. I guess I still prefer using my rear lights mounted up on my roof rack...

 

I'm just gonna put some leds back there and call it good

 

I'd hit my head on it. Plus (I'm sure the round is de-mil'd) I wouldn't want to have that next to my head in a collision.

 

 

Drool.....


This will pale in comparison, but here it goes.

All I did was fix my dome light from sagging. A year or so ago, i had to pull it down to replace one of the map light bulbs and I didn't take the time to investigate how it goes up in there so it has been sagging ever since. Figure out it's because it's held up there with metal posts screwed into the cross beams on the roof and then uses the press on "screw retainers" for lack of knowing what it's actually called. Took those out and replaced them with actual trim screws... looks much better.

Don't have a before shot

 

Ah, I didn't realize there was anythig you could attach to back there without goinf through the roof.

 

probably right where the panel clips into the sheet metal tabs.

 

If you were talking about my bumper, it has a coat of black paint on it for now but its covered in salt. Once it gets warmer out im going to bedline it
