These should look familiar to everyone. Finally fixed my power seats.

Decided to get away from the cold weather and look for the middle of nowhere. That happened to be southeastern Colorado last weekend.
Beautiful build on that 80..and nice set up with that trailer.
Met up with a fellow mudder and went to the GC, did a total of 190 miles offroad this trip.
Any idea how this happened??Replaced a bent radius arm, redid the brakes, and modified the front swaybar disconnect brackets as part of the prep for SW-Adventure 2019 and Cruise Moab. Still have a long list to get done this week.

Set of straight arms
Probably was good to replace the arms anyway since the rear bushings were pretty shot. Looks like the eyes/bushings had started to stretch as well.

The suction cups have a button head, I pushed them through a small slit in the mylar film much like a button qnd button hole. Then I used a small zip tie around the inner diameter of the button head leaving the tail of the zip tie for something to pull the suction cup off the window. Without the tail.. you would not be able to keep the suction cups attached to the mylar while removing the sun sceens.
Clear as mud??

Did lots of stuff over my Easter break.
Drained and swapped my coolant and changed my Temp Sensor and Sender units under the gooseneck. Those were a pain but it seems to have solved an intermittent high idle issue.
Swapped my sunroof glass. I bought the truck with what looked like two big softball size cracks.
Tightened down my oil pan bolts especially near the rear arch. Been chasing an oil leak and need to know if it’s the pan or the rear main seal. Some of my bolts were crazy loose.
Swapped my interior lights with @pfran42 ’s kit. Excellent results.
Swapped my AC drier, o-rings, and my condenser (with a used part) and cleaned my evaporator unit. Oh the birds nest I pulled out of that black box *shivers*. Got everything but toned down and ready for vacuum when we realized we needed an adapter for the high side service port on the R12 compressor!
So that’ll be here Weds. (we’re sticking with R-12 I got epa certified lol). So i should have good 90’s era AC soon if everything goes well.
Also did some odds and ends. Tightened my V-Belts. Tried to clean up some of my headliner. Gonna try a steam cleaner next. And started treating my rear shock mounts with PB blaster in preparation for replacement soon. They are crispy.
Just a few pics. Unfortunately I didn’t take much. 1992

They make a special suction cup for novelty license plates that can be used for this purpose. They come with a hole in the stud part of the cup and a plastic toggle that inserts through the hole to retain the foil insulation. Amazon sells them: Cruiser Accessories 78410 Suction Cups, Clear (4) Pack Amazon product ASIN B00032KBEA

Not really. No single serious impact that i can recall. I tend to push the truck pretty fast offroad these days since the suspension smooths it all out so I'm sure happened during what has become fairly normal for me. Honestly, kinda surprised it bent, but I'm not the first to bend one of the stock arms.

Slinky suspension is so nice, you won't even feel the damage!
