Well, you all remember I think I have a leaky exhaust manifold. Now I can smell the exhaust in the cab coming from the vents while stopped. May be time to do the headers, first. Then some painting.

Must be time Will! ROR with headers


Had a pretty good day... still pulled great mileage despite the new wheels and tires on the highway. Curious what I'm going to average this tank

70 mph was my top. Interstate is the most I drive everyday. Around 40 miles of it. A total of 58 miles one way.

I scored a free Craftsman workbench yesterday. My friend's Dad was cleaning out a shop and said he needed it gone. I went over there expecting something made out of 2x4 wood so it was a nice surprise.

Yeah I'm trying to get the pieces put together. PM'd a few people for their opinions, and emailed the header seller to see if last year's guaranteed price shipped deal is still available. Think I'll get extensions as new sensors are pretty high. Don't know who can do the install since my LR tech is all tied up with this wedding thing.

I guess I can wait.

BTW Pat, good job on figuring out the blazer. That must have been a pita.
