X2 if it is the water pump spend a little extra or you'll have to replace it in a year.

A stock speaker bar will mount to the ceiling of your 1996 without modification.
what does the strap on that car seat hook to?

I put 98 doors on my 88.
Having full, manual windows with fold in mirrors is nice

It was hooked to the seat back bolt. I used para-cord to make a loop around the bolt, then clipped the seat strap to the cord.
Nowadays it hooks to a ring on a cargo net which is attached at seat bolts.

Spent some time cleaning her up today, mostly inside removing trash and fixing some wiring to my scanner and CB radios along with re-routing my anntenna cable for them. Moved it further to the back and away from the regular anntenna to cut down on some of the static, and it worked! Lol

Then after a brief look over of what else I wanted to do, I decided on putting my frickin' tire carrier back on since it fell off one day. Luckily, in the driveway and not on the road....One of the bushings in the hinge fell apart and PLOP! Fell right off....

Got some good stainless steel bolts and washers and put it back on with some LocTite on the threads. Seems to be holding good, except I need a new cable on the bottom that limits how far it opens. Had to cut the old one since the bolt is rusted into the bumper....

Anyway, here's a shot of her with her *** back on!

Got my front shocks back on, pretty sure when the drivers side comes back off its going to need cut, so new shocks when that happens.

Got the rear hard brake line ran, looks good, fits fine. Hooked the master cylinder back up.

I cleaned out some old wiring and stuff from the engine from when I had aux lights. I also bundled up and tied back the wires and tubing I used to relocate my washed fluid reservoir. Its I'm the way until I get to it.

Eating a little lunch now then back to working on it.

Got nothing else done. Messed around trying to get the 8.25 in there by myself. It kept falling off the floor jack. Then started to mess with swapping the shift gate and putting linkage on, but it started raining.

Went to the local UHAUL and got a wiring kit, got home and installed it. Hooked my trailer up and everything was perfect. Gotta start packing for camping next weekend.

I found the rear speaker wire harness but it ends behind the interior panel behind the spare tire. I'll install the speakers and run the wires tomorrow. I'll post pix when it's finished.

Installed a new passenger side headlight.

Installed a new fan clutch and bypassed heater coar. Now I'm running a little above 210. I'll pick up a new fan shroud this weekend.

Nothing yet, but I started a frame repair yesterday, I just didn't have the tools I needed to finish the job. I own them but I lent them out and have to go pick them up today.
