@Old77 what did you find on the lights?

She’s a pretty solid rig! I love it and I hope that she’s still a solid rig once the 4 kids are done. If she is she’ll get a proper restore as she’ll have earned it!!

@Old77 what did you find on the lights?

eBay! I jumped at them when I stumbled across them. I’ll see if I can find the link. Give me a minute…

1157. Is it supposed to be 56??

No, 1157 is dual element, I was thinking you possibly installed the single element 1156 and it wasn't allowed to do both functions.

Driver seat has started messing up my pants when it snags on them so I went and got a quote for getting my seat restored. Supposed to drop it off in a month to have it redone. Look forward to it being new and fresh

Quote??$$??

Quote??$$??

600 for labor. About 350 for materials. I'm going to have this truck for the long haul so I deemed the cost to be "worth it". If I wasn't keeping the truck for the long haul I'd probably not even consider it and just throw towels over it.

The ONLY things you have kept for the "long haul" are the wife, kids, the 77 and the dually. Everything else has changed a MINIMUM of 4 times just sayin

Kept the wife's 07 Burb for 10 years....had the 87 burb for over 2 years....had this S10 for 3+ years now....had dually for 5 1/2 years.....77 for almost 21 years.....

So a grand total of "1" vehicle that you have kept for very long. (other than the 77 and dually)

I like experiencing a lot of different vehicles I don't have room to buy a bunch and hang on to them so I have buy, drive, improve upon and move them along in order to experience all that I want to experience. I was hoping to fix up and keep the Jeep at least through the end of summer, but the universe had other plans on that one
