I agree. What is the best paint for this? Tried some Napa stuff last year and it did not hold out that well.

Noticed the passenger side hub had a loose bolt.. tightened it up 13mm socket. Should these be locktighted? Anyway went to driver side to check. Cannot find proper size 13 to small(barely) and 14mm to big. Same story with 1/2 vs 9/16. what gives here?

Ok. Thanks Philly, I will go forward with brute strength to make the 13mm fit.

I drove it to my mom's house and it overheated.

I'll be buying a radiator tomorrow, so I guess tomorrow I'll be posting up that my hubby replaced the radiator in it!

Hunted down the cause of a No Start on my son's heep. Intermittant loss of ground on the Cam Sensor wiring. Freakin' weird!!

Installed a new (well, new-ish) set of RE 4.5" leaf packs on his rig as well.

You don't need seat belts?!?!?
I sure hope you're kidding.
This was the result of not wearing a seat belt.

frank, if u knew what we wheeled.. flat,mud,trees not too many hills or off camber obsticals.. and in that kinda of wheeling you NEED seat belts.. and if i really needed them id spend the money and get at least 5 point harness's and a roll cage.. unless it had rear seat belts i could steal(wont need them with no back seat, will be modified for storage).. but ik where your coming form and thanks for that warning/heads up.. just that guys wheeling more steep prairie stuff vs. flat mud holes and tree stuff.. it all depends on what your comfortable with and how the terrain is..

man frank thats a sad story i just checked out ur link. reall tragic... and a seatbelt would have definatly given him a much better chance beings that the cab wasnt even smashed in that bad. being held inside the rig by a seatbelt would have given him a much better chance.
