After loosing my muffler in jersey, I did some research on affordable replacements. If I wasn't so poor, I'd put a new flowmaster in it, but a cheaper and quieter option will have to do for now.

I also reviewed my troubleshooting notes for the high beams in an attempt to figure out why the indicator turns on, but not the high beams.

I have a new-ish Thrush muffler. It got 2.5" diameter outlet and inlet though.

Actually in the last few days... washed it to get the dirt and bird crap off. Noticed blotchy green stuff that appeared to be growing on the plastic parts of the roof rack. Looked like some kind of mold or moss so I scrubbed it off.

Also topped up the A/C system, added R134a until pressures were about 30 low and 200 or so high. Now no more fast compressor cycling and it's ice cold in the 90 degree weather we've been having. I'll have to see how it lasts since there's a slow leak somewhere, probably the evaporator. (At least my electronic sniffer couldn't find anything under the hood and seemed to pick up a stray whiff inside.)

Me too... 30 bucks at the parts store, sounds good too. Traded some replica swords to a guy for mine.

I like my Yakima rack. It's great being able to carry a spare tire, 20 gallons of gas and a kayak on the roof. Only thing I wish is that it sat closer to the roof.

There are attachments for stock roof rails (picture). I cut the gutter mounts down on the rack I use.

Started designing a switch pod for the ash tray




Turns out that the console is slightly rounded on top, so I gotta figure that out. Going to have 3 or 4 spots for oem switches sitting at maybe 45 degrees so you can read the labels.

Agree with above. Thrush is cheap and sounds decent. I replaced from the cat back with stuff from Amazon for about $60...if it rusts out in a few years big whoop.
