spent the WHOLE day tryin' to figure out where I went wrong adding extra "back-up" lights to my 98 GC Laredo.
I really screwed the pooch this time, hooked up the new lights, NOW -- NO back-ups at all, no turn signals, no rear wiper or overhead info display. I'm stuck.

Made a water pump inlet tube.
It is all brass and it can be installed without having to remove anything. Just have to heat and bend the old one, unscrew it out.. then fasten this one in place with some rtv hi temp thread sealant. Also have a longer heater hose to use since the brass one I made is half the size of the old one.
Replaced my water pump a few months ago and at the time reused the old inlet tube when I should have replaced it with a new one while it was off.
Id rather have this brass one though anyways so I guess it worked out

Cleaned it out. Was pretty dirty. I more or less live out of it most of the time. Put in the passengers side speaker. Most of my day has been spent trying to figure out the CB set up i should put in it.

Replaced my front wheel bearings. Much easier than I thought it would be, rust wasn't a hindrance. Took me about an hour, and I had time to clean up and listen to my wife come outside and tell me why we needed a fancy new hairdryer that ionizes the air that comes out... Anyways, it didn't fully fix my issue, but it is much, much better! Still feel some vibes at idle speed. I'm not going to worry anymore about it for now.

Installed new wiper blades, spark plugs, plug wires, liftgate support arms, shocks and a magnetic oil drain plug. Added some power steering, brake and transmission fluid.
Next up leaf springs, a 2 inch budget boost and a roof rack.
