Good morning thinkers!- its a beautiful day in the valley!!- ( and not too hot, yet…) hope you fellers have a great weekend!- im planning on dropping in my new weathertech floor mats in new blue this weekend- be safe at your salt mine!- ttyl!!
I just dropped off the rotors at O'Reilly. Seriously easiest rotors to take off, ever... lol. It took me more time securing the vehicle than removing the rotors.
Also ordered new wheel cylinders for Frankie. Drivers side is leaking again.
Need to obtain a new radiator for Frankie as well... and my idle adjuster will be here today. The first one arrived all mangled up, so LMR sent another. Can't believe this passed inspection.
Fiberglass beds, you just pull from the front to back and once the first tabs release, then he slides a pickle fork like tool between the tabs and it comes right up. On the steel beds. You start at the rear, clear the inner tab and clear the back 2 first. Then it is fairly easy after you get past the 2nd pair of tabs. Slides it up the middle between the 12 to 14 sets of double tabs. As he pushed it forward, the center rose a bit and released the tabs, 2 at a time. Easy as hell. I would have never have thought of that idea.
I went into it blind. It was over a decade ago, so I forgot how I went about it. I must not of broke anything, they are still on the truck. What I haven't forgot, it was a PITA.... fought those things, - most likley did it all wrong lol.
AK, I looked at those seat cushions, read the reviews. They are anywhere from 35 for the blue - 150 for the primadonna purple. From the bad reviews, -I usually read those first, seems like they all suffer the same fate after a little time....they go flat.
I'll most likley try the purple, - the one in the middle price range. Looking for one for an office chair, not an easy choice lol.
It appears that radiators for Fox Body's were on the list of "s4!t we don't need to make" during COVID. Autozone, O'Reilly, and NAPA won't even order one for me because the vendors are out of stock. Luckily I found one sitting at an Advance over in Riverton, which is (unfortunately) 50 miles away. The damn things that I do for these cars....
Forgot to mention, because I ordered it on the interwebs, they gave me 25% off. I did call and have the guy at the store go put his hands on it, so I do know for a fact they have it.
Red got his new SOTF motor installed today. Not hard to do, but a bit unpleasant on your back.
I don't know why, but I managed to forget that we need to repin the new motor to our configuration. The 8th wire needs to be pulled from the oem motor and swapped into the new motor plug and the orange and yellow big wires (above each other, also need to be swapped. Nothing is that hard, but space restrictions and bad hands make it a challenge. Anyways, he got done and it works as it should.
I buttoned up the trailer lighting last night. I can't believe the difference. The old lights were adequate, but these are going to be much more visible day *and* night.
I need to buy a 5x16-foot fence panel for the new gate today since the wire section on it only goes up 36", and Duncan will likely figure that out quickly. Trailer (and truck) to the rescue!

Oh, I'm glad the seat cushion topic came up, and Brew, thanks for posting that link. My mom has sciatica, and I'm going to look into sending her one. It will likely be one if the less expensive ones, though, because her usage will be just occasional.

Haha, yea, I wasn't sure what to look for until AK mentioned the Purple. At least I got that out of him before he got all quiet again lol.
Lights look very bright in that one pick....LED's right ? Good luck with the Gate/fence project today. Is that for the puppy, is he still a puppy ??
