I would absolutely build a box and go with your plan. as long as the filter is not in the direct path of any potential rain, it'll be fine. the filter material will do a great job of preventing splashes from getting to the engine.

yeah, I was so used to the breakaway mirrors that I got super confused when I saw the first pair of non-breakaway. and I think that was just a couple years ago too.

might not be that easy, but I will certainly try my hardest.

got a survey text from ATT about my phone call. maybe a lot of capital letters will get someones attention? probably not but it's worth a shot.

link is dead.

it'll be enough for a wheel upgrade. ya know, once I get all the wheel images, and they get cropped, and I upload them all into the system in place of the rocket ship, and then figure out where all the new rank cutoffs should be...

sun visors. not the Lund visor.

what's the blue ring?

yes, but "commonly needed things" include oil filers. "hard to find things" includes relay cover retainers, but I only need the 2 and maybe one more if I lose one. visor clips is something I need 20 of since they are so fragile that they are practically a wear item.

we're looking to swap out the little rocket ship for a pic of the various wheels, organized by your post count (aka 10 posts is the stock 15x6 steelie, while a higher number would be the turbine or eliminator rims). but to do that, we need decent photos of clean wheels. I've done the rivetless Eliminator and the Turbine rims. you guys are up next. make sure your camera is squared up to the wheel and it's clean and shadow free please. tires can be mounted, as we're going to trim it to a circle, just as you see the coin next to my name. please try to make sure that the holes through the rims are dark, rather than light. it just works out better that way. compact spare tire rim white 15x7 silver 15x7 15x7 with beauty rings Eliminator with the rivets 5 spoke aluminum anything else I'm forgetting?

yeahs, that's coming now. I just really didn't think they would squeeze through the gap that's there. it's not very large, but I guess they are a tiny bird with a tiny bird brain.

I see your total as 996 posts. am I missing something?

this was shockingly hard to photograph. it's... too clean. it reflects every little light source! but I figure it'll work fine once it's shrunk down to a tiny, tiny thumbnail. up next I'll do the turbine

so I just spent a hour on the phone with ATT about why my phone that's been using 4Glte for like 9 years now is no longer acceptable to them since it was also capable of 3g (and they are getting rid of 3g). no concrete answers yet, but they will "look into it" and get back with me within 48 hours. further updates as events warrant. then I got my first email (of many I'm sure) that says I owe Uhaul for the various highway tolls I racked up in the northeast PLUS a dollar for an admin fee PER TOLL. so I just paid an extra dollar on that first $1.08 and it would appear I have to pay for each one as they get it. on a happier note, we found that a wren had figured out how to get into the smokestack and was trapped in the fireplace (much to the cat's delight). I didn't think I could coax it into a bag without a huge risk that it would escape and now be free in the house, so I dug up all the old kids tunnels and made a long wren-tunnel right out the door. worked like a charm.

gotta love a good road trip.

the curved "rocking" seats? they both raise you up and give you more adjustment in seat position. it's a very subjective thing about whether it's worth it or not. typically not recommended for tall people.

and I'll remember to move my drive days to monday/tuesday rather than sunday/monday so I can get more relaxing in before i drive 14 hours home.

thanks for the legwork. I kinda figured they'd be too old for Chrysler to care about. I might try an AMC club. maybe someone's brain will have the info buried deep inside it.

as an alternative to cutting the fenders, what about just going with longer bumpstops? factory flares are definitely findable.

history is cool. history is important. but family history is just the absolute best.
