Replaced 2 bulbs and all lights operate as expected. Next up, why no inside blower motor operation. I know the resistor pack is OK so it is probably the switch or fuse. It has been sitting idle for 2 years, anything can happen.

Picked it up yesterday and been putting some miles on it. Sat for 2 months again. Grumbled at me a little when I started it, but back to normal. Did get the AC in top notch working order, just in time for winter. Got some HID's in the works!

Trimmed up my DIY shackle relocation brackets, added some spacers, and beat the crap out of the OEM style shackles so they actually fit the leafs without rubbing. Then took it out for a test run to see how it rode and sounded. Finally my rear suspension works like it should
Unfortunately getting the back end cycling smoothly and quiet has shown that my control arm bushings are shot
I didn't really want to dive into replacing and paying for new control arm bushings, I wanted to have the winter to save up for a full set of TMR upper and lower control arms.
Any how on the test drive I actually managed to find a little mud to sling, unfortunately I didn't know it and had my head sticking out the window just as the front DS tire broke loose
, thank gawd for sunglasses

After sitting for two years, the lift gate was frozen shut. Took off the back panel and doused it with PB Blaster. Kept working at opening it and when I finally figured out how the locking mechanism worked, I found out, from the inside, I was trying to open it locked. One of the items that moved out of the way to let it open was frozen and it loosened up by wiggling it. Now it works better than when I parked it.
