Repaired my falling down Hood Liner, from where the plastic rivots ripped though. Used Some left over sheet metel and drilled a hole though it.
Not sure why I repaired it, I'll probably just remove it anyway



Cleaned the Headlights and Fog Lights.
Used Mothers Chrome Polish and 0000 Steel Wool, then Mothers and a cotton rag, then wiped down with water and a Paper towel.
Took about 3 minutes a light, they are not like new, but they sure do look alot better.

A Pic of the Fog lights, before and after

Ordered my new rims and tires today. 17inch procomp 7089 with Mickey Thompson baja MTZ 33/12.5/17.

Now I have to take it back in to get my passenger side front axle seal replaced again. ( 5th time it's leaked and had to be replaced since I bought the truck 5 months ago). Anyone else have axle seal problems?

Congrates on the Tires and Wheels.
5 seals in 5 months ?
Bent Axle maybe ?

Well the small dealership I bought it from changed it 4 times because I had it put in the bill of sale that if I bought it they'd fix it. After the forth time I got pissed and took it to Dodge they changed both of them and my u joints for $835. They told me the axle was fine that whoever changed it was putting it on backwards. Drove it home than a week later I drove 5 hours to West Va. up in the mountains to the inlaws then when we got back home I noticed its leaking again. But I have a 12 months warranty so I'll be headed back to dodge soon!

Pulled my truck back in the driveway from sitting on the street for a few days, and I am thinking of draining the tranny fluid again and replacing the filter, before heading to the tranny shop
