In the past week to my '02 Tundra,Replaced the brake master cylinder. Flushed out all the green! brake fluid.Installed new front pads.Replaced the oil pressure gauge. Really nice to see oil pressure again!
Replaced the burned-out "D" light in the dash while I was there.Got the 15+ year old faded window tint replaced.Broke the handle for the tail gate...
The bikes got nothing!

Put on fresh upgraded roll bar padding, bought an msd 4 relay module for improving the starting circuit, new hose on the tire gauge, made a list of all the things I need to do including taking the body off to expose the wiring. I had to hot wire the starter circuit at the track to save the new flexplate, it wasn't operating the starter solenoid efficiently and grinding the teeth.

well I finished off my suspension maintainence,or so I thought,i did the sway bar mounts and links today,i used rubber on the links and soft urethane on the body mounts,i replaced those link rods about 4 years ago but they've rubbed on the wishbone through hole halfway through and elongated the holes in the wishbones!no big deal ill get new links and weld on a washer or drilled plate to re set the wishbone holes later,another day,its much softer now after all the rubbers are new and the way it should be.

Had a slow leak on the L rear of the wifey's Nissan, upon inspection we discovered a slice on the tread.

So installed new BF Goodrich's on the rear, 275mm wide....

Then took it for a "test drive" on one of my favorite roads!

Replaced the broken tailgate handle on the Tundra.
Got the lid for the center console reupholstered over on the east side.
Programmed two new alarm keychain fobs. What a PITA it was to access the RS3000 ECU module way up under the dash.
Again, the bikes get nothing.

as promised I replaced the sway bar links,i used to have this car really low im thinking that cranked the links into an unnatural angle or something causing this wear?then again it is a daily driven all purpose 1973 car!

is a lawn mower a valid vehicle to comment about?

Think I might have to replace the cutting blade shaft on mine. We have many rocks in Vermont which seem to grow from the ground up. It might be cheaper to just buy another Honda motor....

Shouldn't the blade shaft be the end of the crank?

If it has a motor and you can ride in or on it then it is a vehicle in my book.

not mine but a mates skip bin truck,warren who rides a ducati with us wanted to move the bin locating strips on the deck,a simple cut the welds move and reweld?yeah right took almost two hours with us both on angle grinders simultaneously using his 7100 watt briggs powered genny,then we found the genny wouldn't quite run his new inverter welder at the amps we needed so relocated to my place to finish it off,its winter here but still hot and bright in the sun!he has a nice convertible mustang aswell in left hand drive.

I started pulling the '70 Corvette interior apart to install a new dash pad, gauge bezel, console and Alpine audio system. Came apart pretty quick, many screws were missing! The PO must have been a butcher looking at the way the [crappy]stereo was installed.

Challenge #1: need to figure out how to mount modern Infinity 4x6" speakers in the original place in the dash...
