I have searched for this subject matter, but I have come up empty handed. Can someone point me to a link or links detailing the steps, pitfalls, etc. to adding rear heat to the rear of the center console? I am thinking the hydronic side of the task should be simple. I would hope the...

Shaggy, do you have a phone number you can share with us? My '02 100 with 96K will need a new battery sooner than later and I've been looking hard at this battery. Your hold-down solves a real concern. Greetings from Burke.

Thanks for the heads-up, Slim. I reduced their supplies by two. Better hurry, there are only ~40 remaining! Thanks again!

Slim, I also reside in 'Burke and the prices I find on the MF-1052 is still at $49 and change. May I ask which Costco you made your purchases at?

Pardon me if this crosses into the very obvious, but the small button near the driver's side window controls will inadvertantly be activated in my truck thus disabling the windows. You never know...

Please, don't make us beg. We live for photos.

How many miles did you roll up on your original shocks/suspension?

Strange? I find it refreshing that fewer fastener sizes were used and there seems, at least in my experience, to be no intermingling of SAE and metric. Wish more mfgrs would follow this path. Cheers!

1loudLX, Granting that your user name alludes to the sound of your Cruiser, can you tell us more of your impressions of the exhaust note? Any inmprovement in economy? Performance? Girl-getting ability? Was is strictly a bolt-in with no mods? Thx in advance.

Thank you very much, one and all. Very useful recommendations each of them. Armed with copies of the pertinent FSM pages, maybe some replacement parts, and a cell phone to check references, I think I will try a non-dealer option first. If that doesn't net the desired result then I will...
