I decided to not use the headlight covers in the parade but look pretty good with I think.

Right? Like why can't the salt belt take lessons from Alaska and STOP USING SALT! Alaska doesn't have the Rust problem the rest of us have cz they changed the way they clear roads. I mean if anyone would know the best way to clear snow I'd think Alaska would know lol

That's the big question for some/most of the states in the north...why not the Alaska way ? There must be a reason right...

That is pretty amazing that you can swap in a solid axle up front and shorten the wheelbase and it ride better than stock. Lol
Makes me think there is some hope for my Bronco 2. I have been eyeing an old cherokee with 4.10s in the dana 30 that would be the perfect donor.

Today I installed window vents so that I could open the windows a little to "AIR OUT" the cab area. After cleaning the carpets I needed to air ir out. I opened the door yesterday and my glasses fogged up due to the humidity. I will leave the rear windows cracked for a few days.

Next will be sticking front brake calipers.

I like the AitoVentShades on my truck. I often leave the sunroof tilted open and the windows cracked and inch or so in the summer so it doesn't get to a billion degrees inside. If rain is possible, I forego the sunroof, and the open windows offer ventilation without the risk of rain entering (unless you were visiting JP this week.)
