If the engine survives the repairs, I'm thinking of taking the doors off of my 95. I'll have to move the speakers from the doors to the dash. Luckily that's the only electrics in it's doors.

Drove my 99 to work today. Nothing too exciting. Floored it on a half-icy patch but the truetrac didn't slip.

little too much throttle and a locked front end it was only a matter of time. My u joint cap walked out on a trail sunday I decided I needed a stronger Solution. Grinded my axle shaft so I could use full circle clips and then tack welded washers on top of the u joint caps.
