I loaded up my turntables and this afternoon im headed to a kid's birthday party. The young man is a Dj himself and we both DJ at a monthly reggae party. He asked last time if id dj his birthday (Young folks still respect the vinyl) and of course I agreed. So im taking a big box of vinyl and hour to town and doing an hour set for an awesome Young man, Jah Hugin!
 
Pulled the hood latch pin today, thought I’d just take some pics and make a post since this little PITA has popped up in a few posts in the past.
The spring seat doubles as the jam nut, as there is a captured nut that the pin threads into. I took the pressure off the spring with a couple of vise-grips, and as @J Mack has mentioned, used a big ol’ pair of Channel Locks and loosened the spring base/jam nut. From there it was using a large screwdriver (laterally) to break the pin loose, then just spun it out the rest of the way by hand. Piece of cake.

Took the Pig for a drive up to Robbs Resort for the annual Cantina for the 'Con. Avoided the freeway and took the back way in thru Georgetown. Pleasant place to spend a 4x4 weekend for a good cause with good people.
55 miles with 3000 foot elevation change and the Pig did great, coolant temp never got above 190f. Slow and steady all the way.

Then, it got dark and I thought I'd see what the reverse lights looked like with the front rocklights on. You'll recall that I recently wired the reverse lights to a dash switch after not having reverse lights at all for about 20 years. Think I might use them both when backing up...
