I cleaned all my windows inside and out. And polished one wheel. I want to do my other three but got lazy. Next I'm gonna change my blinker fluid and maybe rent a gasket stretcher Cuz my valve cover gasket seems a little too small

Got it back on the ground on all 4 wheels yesterday and took it for a quick test drive. After the DIY shackle relocation brackets the passenger side shackle doesn't seem to cycle all that well. I am thinking that the bushing needs a little more freeing up or replacing because with both sides in the same hole the PS sits about 1" higher than the DS in the back and the shackle is at roughly 35°. I haven't measured the exact angle yet, but will tomorrow before getting back at it to work out the bugs.
Right now I know for sure that I need to trim the corners off the back of the brackets to make clearance for the shackles, and make some sleeves for the upper locating block.

Got it out and took it for a short drive to refresh my memory of what it's running like right now. Since my 703's arrived today, I want to have a better understanding of any potential changes after the swap.

Step one replace front fender then to re cut and fold. Eventually I'll color match it. The new one is deep forest green

24 hour recharge on the battery ... again. Voltage was down to 0.5 or thereabouts. Something is making it drain completely down periodically. Only thing I can think of is maybe the stereo, that's the only thing I turned on yesterday that I can remember doing different.

The One Way LED dome light bulb is a good bulb for the overhead dome light, but it's a GREAT bulb for the under hood light. I put my old VLED bulb back in the dome light, and moved the One Way bulb into the under hood light to replace the burned out bulb. It's nice and bright, and I won't burn myself on the under hood light anymore.
