Dash all done and reinstalled. Went really smoothly, but I did have issues with, of all things, the glove box liner. Dumb dumb idea to have the wire loop for the latch behind the lip of the liner. You have to put undo stress on the dash either pulling the liner out or putting it in. Could have been ...

Why not just take it to a professional ? After all they do windshields all day long, have all the proper tools for the job and the right sealants, and they will guarantee their work. Some things just aren't worth fooling around with, imho.

I used to patch my own tires too.....

Drop all sodas, chips, fried food etc. Eat organic as much as possible, particularly things like milk, potatoes and meat. I tend to eat very little red meat, opting for fish, chicken and v...

Well the wiper arm replacement went pretty well. As expected, the wiper pattern is a little different than stock, but not wildly. I went with Bosch 24" on the drivers side, and 26" on the passenger side. The pic with the blue tape shows the difference between the stock ( sharpy mark ) and ...

Also got away from this problem....

I decided to look at my plugs today - this is what I found. Not sure about this color......I'm used to white or black typically. I'd think major head gasket leak, but fresh engine and no signs of coolant issues ( exhaust vapor/smell, drop in coolant level ) so I'm at a loss. IMG_20220529_123829690.j...
