Ordered axle seals, front and rear, and 3/4" coil spring spacers. I need new seals and locally they are $20 each
The spacers are for when i finally make my homebrew shackle relocation brackets. I will still need to order a SYE, should have done that a while ago, prices jumped $50

Window Regulator
Replaced my front passenger door window regulator yesterday.
Bought it from NAPA. As it turns out it was made in South Korea and the motor had a sticker on it that said "Vietnam". WTF, can't anything be made in the USA anymore...
Looked okay and fit okay, but as you would expect, the electrical connector on the regulator motor was screwed up - I couldn't insert the body harness connector in the motor connector to engage the lock. I had to cut a fraction of an inch off the lock ridge on the body harness connector in order to make it lock in.
Runs a tad slower than the driver's door regulator but it works better than the old one, which has been inop for the last five years (LOL).

Pulled the Yakima basket off the top of the '99 and ran it through the car wash, than picked up a throttle body gasket.

Yesterday I changed Steering damper to fix death wobble.
First start, the water pump outlet (steel line) broke from rust. So I changed the water pump, that line and the Serpentine belt.
Today she passed safety, and E-Test.
Tomorrow I will do axle seals and U-joints and then start on the body

Found out I didn't torque the lug nuts down very tight after my hub replacement. Thankfully I didn't lose the wheel!

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! never replace that to fix that. You're putting a bandaid on a bullet wound. Yes it fixes it temporarily but your problem goes way Beyond that. Check tires for balance, check ball joints, tie rod ends, track bar and control arm bushings.
