Got the New floor welded in (monday) Went back to it today and bondoed the seams of the welds all the way around and coat of rust-o-leum rusty metal primer. The floor is 90% complete
Fixed the Temp gauge.
Fixed the Power Seat.
Lots of soldering old butt connectors from many Previous Owners.
Adjusted the Transfer case shift linkage. So much play in those bushings.
Cleaned the interior (yes thats a big deal for me, I filled 3 trash bags)

Just noticed that I got the shipping quote around supper time $41 for shipping and no hardware would be included because that would put it over the 20 pound shipping limit. I am thinking I may be able to order them on Monday, just have to wait to make sure my pay is on time before ordering. Even though I can easily buy hardware here I am thinking of just asking him to include the hardware and drop the extra set of spacers. I can mount under the trailer hitch or make my own spacers quicker than I can drive to get the proper hardware and it would probably be cheaper too since I have some 1/4" plate steel kicking around the garage

HD Offroad? Doesn't he have free shipping in the US? You're 20 minutes from the border, why not get your hardware?

I don't have a passport or enhanced drivers license so I can't cross the border

The closest place to get the proper grade hardware is just south of Ottawa. They are cheap enough, but it is a 90 minute round trip. He said that the hardware puts the package over the 20 pound limit. I am guessing he would be using a flat rate box from USPS. I had a similar thing when I bought my 2x72 belt grinder kit. It was shipped in 3 or 4 flat rate boxes because it worked out to be about $30 cheaper than sending it in one box.

Ahhh. That's a bit of a travel for hardware. No Brafasco or Fastenal in Cornhole or Brockville?

If I wasn't up to my neck in moving I'd offer to help in some way! Fastenal here is pretty reliable.

Didn't do anything to the jeep but installed some 5000k hids in the fog lights of the fiancés yukon. Huge difference over the original bulbs and it was nice to get out into the garage.

There are Fastenals in both Cornwall and Brockville, but I gave up on them because most times I was told by Fastenal they need to order the parts/bolts/nuts I needed and it would be faster to just order on line myself so I just started going to Ottawa Fastener Supply. In the long run it is less of a drive to just head into Nepean than it is to drive to Brockville then turn around and drive to Cornwall, only to drive home empty handed.

AFS has a huge selection of grades, styles, and sizes. They also have great costumer service and someone to help you find that nut or bolt in the huge walls of fasteners they have. Prices are good too.

Default 100th post!

I swapped all the interior lights to led this morning and then had to vacuum due to the lumen increase.
