Ordered 50 red LEDs from ebay. Once they arrive, dash is getting torn apart and the dash lighting is getting overhauled. I will post a thread with lots of pics.

Technically last night before, and during the SB.

New plugs, wires, distributor cap, rotor, and rear speakers.

All of which make a big difference.

They are 5mm. If they don't fit I will make them fit.

Rotated the bald tires to the front of the 98 and pulled off the rear drums to find that all of the hardware and pads were brand new. Then found that the dumb@$$ who put the drums back together adjusted them so they had literally a quarter of an inch of movement. So re-adjusted the rear drums and the E-brake cable then put everything back together agian....mounting the roof rack tomorrow, And Davicl81 thats how my fluid looks in my 99 lol. I need to do the same thing.

During our big snow fall here in michigan in the past few days, I've blown a valve cover gasket torn up my new firestone snow tires, and my heat quit blowing hot air. Only ice cold. Fun stuff.

i've got the same thing: loud popping under driver's floorboard during low-speed turns, especially on hills or bumps). i've replaced the steering box, drag-link (zj swap/upgrade), tie-rod (rusty's hd), track bar (KOR double shear) steering stabilizer & front shocks (rancho 5000's). the tre's r good (new or "newer"). my steering has improved dramatically (i've got 31's on stock height). the popping is still there, next step is the lca's. any other ideas?

I have to do mine come spring time...no issues overheating (*knock on wood) just trying to do some preventative maintenance. And that looks gross.
