Waxing it, one of the few times I wish I drove a Honda.

Got my new Coopers put on today, they look way better than I expected. But this was an all day event, literally 10 hours. The manager kept coming into the waiting room and telling me I needed a new this and that. So I had to make quite a few trips to Autozone and NAPA since I'm definitely not paying their outrageous rates. $478.11 for a wheel hub assembly? No thanks, I'll get it from Autozone for $87 with lifetime and install it myself, then you can continue doing your job.

Also replaced the power steering pump and hoses, fuel pump, and new dual fans.

I will post pics tomorrow since its dark and rainy.

Went across the border with it and picked up a couple items:

-HS 1.7 RR's (props to John at South East RT)
-LMC headlight relay kit
-master cylinder for a 3500 (1 1/4 bore vs 1 1/8 current on my 1500)
-rear wheel cylinders for a 3500
-rear husky liner mats
-1/4" wheel spacers
-PS window switch

I'll be doing a review on the relay kit and master cylinder when I get the time to put them in. really curious to see the difference both will net.

Pulled my air filter off and checked my throttle cable, it was all fine! My secondaries are coming open while driving, hence the feeling of a partially stuck throttle cable.

It also explains why I only get 12"Hg of vacuum at idle, which also explains my hard starting...

Now to fix it...

I finally finished my exhaust. I rewelde my cat and welded in 2 ft of 3 inch pipe so I could reinstall my tailpipe behind the thrush welded muffler.

my first time trying to weld a bead. It doesnt look great but it doesn't leak and is strong. Plus i was told that the welder I was using sucked.
