    Yeah, I remember this thread from a long time ago. I forgot about it entirely. This is very good. I need to find a way to make color print outs of it. I know someday I will end up doing this fix...

    Thanks Billy!

    I made a pdf of Billy's 'how2'. It is great having a disposable paper copy outside with you.

    I can't figure out how to post it but if you PM me your email, I'll send it.

    Better yet, someone PM me some 'posting for dummies' & I'll put it where all can get it.

    Good show, Tom, PM sent. You know, there is probably a way to post it on here in the how-to section.

    "there is probably a way to post it on here in the how-to section"

    I'm sure there is but I couldn't figure it out in 12 seconds so I gave up.

    A couple quick thoughts while I'm on break...

    It says on the can of brake cleaner: "use in a well ventilated area, known to cause cancer in the state of California" both statements made me glad I was in N.Dak...
    However, N.Dak is apperently not THAT well ventilated...the label should also include: "known to cause mild mental impairment in the state of N.Dak"...
    I somehow got it in my mind that combining a few loads of laundry, with CV boot replacment was a good idea...it's not.
    These two activities shouldn't be done in the same WEEK...it's a dirty job, but somebody's gotta do it.

    Wonder if it could just be moved over the 'Tips and How To' section
    Greetings, Earthling. We come in peace... Never mind "Paris to Dakar", the VehiCROSS looks ready for the Martian desert.

    That's where I found it in the first place...just had to tweak the search parameters to include "back to the stoneage" or something to that effect...

    I only got one side done yesterday, due to my lacadaisical work ethic (started late, so made up for it by quitting early) the other side should be a snap...prolly this weekend.
    So I guess I only $aved $800.oo on my first attempt.
