My wife, kids and I MEANT to go caroling during a snowstorm. But we ended up busting snowdrifts and having so much fun that we never did sing for anybody.

Our '95 is stock, with street tires, but we never came close to "stuck".

Worked all Saturday evening and Sunday on the new BPE's and Seafoamed the engine...
Fired it up yesterday after changing the oil and took a drive around the block a few times...The BPE on the driver side is clunking around and slapping the unibody, hopefully an adjustment and a few washers will cure that and I dont have a break in the unibody somewhere...
The engine has a terrible miss now after adding the Seafoam...Ill pull the plugs and clean them up and see if that helps...

Its 7 degrees in Central Ohio this morning, she started right up so I patted her on the fender and told her that everything will be ok...

Wow, I have some catching up to do, here.

A couple of nights ago I installed the new wiper/washer switch (thanks again to Stryker for the tech. help) Tearing that steering column apart was a B****!! The new switch works like a champ!!!

Yesterday I was driving out to do the Christmas shopping and my 4WD gave out. I have a home brew axle lock in place of the old vacuum disco. Had to limp it back home and pull the disco off and adjust and retighten the actuator cable. Took me about an hour then I was back out enjoying the snow.
