    I don’t charge anything but if you could bring the skipper a Diet Coke that would be nice.

    Wasn't able to get oem rear bushings. Used whiteline instead for rear traction bar. Making a behind grill light bar and cutting out center bar for black mesh insert. Will add pic when done. Made plywood jig to press stainless painted mesh to fit. Small screws and washers makes it easy if I need to take out.

    I put my Husky floor liner back in the rear for a hunting event, I think I got the leak caulked.

    Went to the parts store, air-filter, and picked up a new garage shelf. This won’t fit in the Corolla.EE7EEFC3-E2F9-436A-8D90-E751CF76723E.jpg The sun fries the plastic ones then they collapse. And I’m able to drive to pick-up parts and events but not limited to.

    I’m going to be accenting my new Vors rims by painting my trailer hitch, brake light gaurds, and roof rails in bronze.

    Looks like the new wheels are only 3 1/2 pounds heavier than stock size.

    How do you start the restoration of a 3rd Gen? Well, you start with the core support. I didn’t realize it’s welded on has to be drilled?

    Mounted my light bar. Looks good. It’s under my bumper so should be legal, I’ll point it down. Just ordered new brakes, for the new wheels.

    My battery was dead. A few year old AGM it couldn’t be. Noticed the negative battery terminal was loose. It’s a little stretched so I put a new piece of copper wire on it while clamping it to the terminal. Charging now.
    And, added a new pin on the dash.8606BECE-F132-47CB-9747-CA54FCF514A2.jpg
