Well the 2 they said they had in Seattle were exactly like I expected the 2 sealed power with seized internals I rejected the other day. I can't belive they were just going to try and sell them knowing they are defective.

Yep... that's the customer service we've come to expect from the big box places... well at least I have anyway.

I miss the old days...

Yep however the local places aren't much better, I went to a local 3 location company to see if they could get the last one for me. They told me they would have to order from new York, and after shipping it would be more than 60$ I said no thanks to that!!!

started on my floor repair, got the patch panels ready and the floor cleaned & vaccumed up. Waiting on the por-15 to dry, might be tomorrow before I can do much more.

 

[SenorNoob]

Too late now!

Were you able to fix that shock mount yet?

Yes. And replaced front rotors and bearing today.

 

[DRanger024]

Took the topper back off. I need to wash it and reapply fluid film to all the body rust before winter.

 

[racsan]

got my floor patch done, may start on the new vynil floor covering install monday, need to work on the escape tomorrow, Ive had a radiator for it going on 2 months but its just been too hot until recently to spend all day in the garage. And it will take most of the day since I have to remove the grill guard, both front tires, the grill and front end plastic. Ive watched a youtube video, this aint no 30-45 min job like a ranger would be.

Put some Rustoleum Restorer on some surface rust on the tailgate latches, leaf springs, bumper brackets, and such.

Trying to make this a 30 year rig.

Didn't do alot the last 2 days just a bit more parts cleaning on Saturday, spent most the day doing final yard work of the year might have to mow once more but I hope not lol. Cleaned gutters, fixed a downspout now water won't just flow across the floor of my "workshop". Than today we went to the inlaws where I store the expos. Gathered a few of the misc last parts,
