Whats on your 'to do' list?
I have some, quite a few!! Just wandering who is worse off than me. I hate previous owners! Maybe by seeing other people problems, my pockets wont feel so empty.
-Find mystery Trans problem -Trim bottom front corner of fenders -Replace missing wingnut for aircleaner -Battery holddown -Adjust rear brakes -Get custom true dual exhaust with Magnaflows -Tune carb -Finnish primer -Install door pannels, figure out the rusted screws.. -Install carpet/whole rest of interior -Shop around for good stereo place for install of everything -Gear Vendors overdrive (4.56, 35's suck on highway) -Actual paint job, undecided color |

Re: Whats on your 'to do' list?
So one more will be off the list. Right now, my truck is getting true dual -exhaust, with magnaflows, h-pipe, and side exit before the wheels. Cant wait.
That stock Y pipe is a horrible design BTW! |
