  1. I think you will have to disable your network adapter for ethernet. It likely takes precedent over the wifi hot spot. Once the wifi hot spot is connected you should be able to access MyCloud through that internet connection. Perhaps this will help... https://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/disable-an-ethernet-connection-windows-10/
  2. This looks like the bottom one you show. https://denver.craigslist.org/pts/d/sedalia-jeep-comanche-topper/7229935698.html
  3. Depending on how badly it's cracked there are a number of vinyl glues you could try. To take the bench seat cover off it's best to take it out of the truck. The cover on the top just slides off and can be put back on the same way. Head rests make it a bit more complicated. The bottom is held together with hog rings. The easiest thing is to cut the existing rings and when ready to reinstall you will need hog rings and hog ring pliers. If you take the bottom off then is a good time to reinforce the seat springs. I had an additional set of springs I got from the JY. I zip tied the second to the first and then interlaced springs with additional zip ties. Reduced the sag quite a lot. Some people have inserted pads under the spring also. With the cover off you can throw it in the washing machine to clean it.
  4. That would be them. Good luck. Mine was a battle most of the way. Stripped out the lower hinge bolt. Had to cut the pins out.
  5. If your experience with door hinges is similar to mine you will find the pin to not be worn very much and the body side portion of the hinge to be quite worn The pins appear to be much harder than the steel of the hinges. Hinge on the door itself wasn't worn at all either. I used these to correct the hinge slop. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MND8LIA/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Drilled hinge out to 5/16ths, tapped them in, installed new pins and voila, like new. I tried 5'16ths bolts I bought also but removed them for the pins. Much tighter fit. I don't recall where I got the pins.

    COVID Chances

    Masks could mean getting less sick And it might do more than quell the outbreak. A hypothesis among some infectious disease experts is that those infected while wearing masks breathe in a lower dose of the virus, and as a result often have less severe illness. A forthcoming article in the Journal of General Internal Medicine lays out the theory. It makes a lot of sense, said Dr. Joshua Sharfstein, an expert in health policy at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. “Wearing a mask may protect the mask wearer more than we realize," he said. "This paper provides a new explanation for lower rates of death in areas where mask wearing is common, as well as an even stronger rationale for all of us to wear masks when around others." The rationale is based on the medical concept of "viral inoculum," or how much virus someone is exposed to. The evidence about viral, bacterial or fungal exposure affecting how sick someone gets goes back to the 1930s. “We know this for gastrointestinal viruses, sexually transmitted diseases and respiratory infections. The bigger the load the more you get in your system, the more severe the disease,” said Dr. Monica Gandhi, a professor of medicine and infectious disease expert at the University of California, San Francisco and co-author on the paper. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/health/2020/07/15/wearing-mask-may-offer-protection-against-catching-severe-covid-19/5431323002/

    It's not only about protecting others. Wearing a mask diminishes the viral load acquired when one is exposed and infected which can be a determinant in how severe ones infection becomes. I saw a video interview recently by a nurse in S. Dakota who says even when people are literally dying from Covid, that they refuse to believe the virus exists. It's a hoax they say. I must have the flu, or pneumonia, or even cancer and demand the medical people do something about it.
  8. You can pick it up in a weekend. Or a long weekend if you want to be leisurely.

    but, but.......isn't that SOCIALISM?? Funny how SOCIETY benefits when the individual is included meaningfully in the national product....that constantly touted and most base measure of national success.
  12. If the air filter is soaked in oil then it likely is not getting enough air when under load. Trying it without the filter or substituting a clean one would help narrow that down. The expansion bottle gurgling may just mean there is air in the system. Does it gurgle while running or after shut off. My closed system stopped gurgling after I got all of the leaks fixed in the system. That said, the rust looks pretty severe and a great deal more is likely hidden. That and suspected engine issues would make me very hesitant to go much over 2K. I would definitely want a pre-purchase evaluation at requested price.
  13. For clunking on rough roads I would definitely check the other shock bushings. Replacing ball joints corrected my camber and subsequent tire wear issues and that was after replacing everything else on the front end. If they are really bad they can clunk. Check to make sure your tie rod isn't bent. The stock hollow one bent on mine just driving on rough roads. The ZJ V8 track bar can replace it and is solid metal and larger diameter.
  14. I have the vinyl in my truck and actually prefer it to carpet. When it gets dirty I just wash it down with a rag. No muss no fuss!
  15. I've got an 88 D44 not yet rebuilt. Drums are 10 inches. Also bought most of my brake stuff from Rockauto. Still sitting in my garage.
  16. Lastly. A few cuts from Andrew Lloyd Weber's 1970 Rock Opera... Jesus Christ Superstar. Try not to get worried, try not to turn on to Problems that upset you, oh Don't you know Everything's alright, yes, everything's fine And we want you to sleep well tonight Let the world turn without you tonight If we try, we'll get by, so forget all about us tonight
  17. Next! Songs for Beginners...Graham Nash. 200 gram Quiex Super Vinyl. Military Madness was killing the country Solitary sadness creeps over me And after the wars are over And the body count is finally filed I hope the Man discovers What's driving the people wild Military Madness is killing your country So much sadness between you and me War, War, War, War, War, War.
  18. Next! Diva! Soundtrack! Vinyl. Winner 1982 Cesar Award (Academy of French Cinema) Best Original Motion Picture Score. Aria from La Wally thematic with some other stuff!
  19. Next! Soundtrack to Metropolis (vinyl). 1984 "contemporary" soundtrack to the 1926 Fritz Lang movie, originally presented with a live orchestra. Giorgio Morodo production featuring Freddie Mercury, Pat Benatar, Jon Anderson, Cycle V, Bonnie Tyler, Loverboy, Billie Squire, Adam Ant. Plot...The year is 2026, a Dickensian "best of times, worst of times," where total oppression and manipulation of the masses is wielded by the unquestionable power of the few. I have the video of the movie, also. Portions of the original are missing but still, fascinating movie making.
  20. Next....Roxy Music....Avalon.
  21. Currently listening to Emmy Lou Harris, Luxury Liner on vinyl. The lady of the house is out with the girls and I can crank it up. Critical listening with the system as it is currently. However a couple of Marg's might facilitate that effort.

    Door Hinge

    I've got this if you're still interested.
  23. Very nice! Good to know!
  24. Clutch safety switches are just a little surprise for me when I haven't pushed the clutch in far enough. Learned to drive in a 1948 International Harvester K5 series (same year I was born) with non-syncro trans and straight pipe, double clutching through every gear. Still sorta drive that way. In college I drove the same non-syncro vehicle, only now a school bus. Pretty sure it had a muffler though.
