LOL.... mine does leak pretty at the slider seal on the bottom with the hose (still), but it is very minimal unless I put a hose on it. I figured out how I can fix that minor leak though.... the rubber channel seal is starting to come apart - and I think I can silicone it in there just fine.

It rained all night last night, so when I woke up this morning I checked the back window. No wet seat! That was a relief!
Some of my best days involved a wet back seat in the morning. Different scenario I suppose. Lol

Eh, I'm holding my opinion a bit longer. He's asking valid questions and is (mostly) accepting of the answers. I saw his post about the straight pipes, though.
I just hadn't gotten around to telling him that the exhaust should move up on his priority list.

Question for the gallery:

Since replacing the half-shafts and hubs, I can now hear a bit of noise coming from what sounds like the front left suspension when hitting more abrupt bumps or rough road. Almost a rattle, but more just a "loose" sound. There's also an occasion (well, rare, really) pop/clunk from the front suspension when moving slowly and coming to a more abrupt stop, especially after just having changed directions (fwd/rev or rev/fwd). I have new UCA's coming because I noticed the right upper ball joint has a very small amount of play. I didn't check the left one when I had things apart last weekend. Nothing feels loose when I do the wheel-wiggle test (after recently replacing the idler arm). Any suggestions on what else to check, and maybe what else to replace pro-actively when I have things apart *AGAIN*?

I really hate admitting this one.... but I had those EXACT symptoms on my Ranger, and it was a slightly loose caliper bracket bolt. Going from drive to reverse was just enough to shift the caliper to make it generate a mild clunk. I think that the rattle was maybe just the pad wiggling around in there, but it cleared up at the same time.

The reason I had thought to check that is the fact that Fox Body's have an inherent issue where the brake pads rattle. Some guys goop the hell out of them with silicone to make them stop, and others install some aftermarket sleeves.....

Anyway, might want to check it out.
