My buddy showed me how to replace U joints. Did those, drove to the store with no F@(^!$& noises for once! Get back in, starter (I think) is gone. Nice tow bill later, she is at the shop.

Man if you ever suspect the starter just bang on it once or twice then try to start it.

Replaced the starter solenoid. Patched up the couple holes I had with bondo, quick job for now, the perfection can come when I'm not sweating my *** off. Now its all ready for inspection, well, probly after I get a new wire for the #4 plug, that seems to continue tripping the CE light, old distributor cap had corroded on #4 and I guess it ruined the wire too, its very touchy now, sometimes it fires, sometimes it doesnt.

Yeah, lesson learned now. I *knew* to do that but just didn't. I noticed it acting funny for the past few days. Oh well, buddies shop deal so I'm not too butthurt over it.

I didn't actually do it today, but I did take pictures today finally. Here's my fog light install. Total cost- $25. While I was at it I grey primered the radiator supports because they were starting to surface rust. I already had the paint and the extra length of wire for the switch so I only had to pay for the lights. The toughest part was running wiring for the switch through the cab. Removing the grill and mounting the lights was fairly straightforward once I got my thinking cap on.
