Replaced both headlights, a nice clean job for a change.
you might possibly want to look into putting your headlights on relays if you plan on doing much night driving. make a huge difference. it will also usually prevent your lights from dimming as much since it will be getting power straight from the battery. plus it will take a crap load of stress of the old and weak stock wiring.

Thanks Crazzy, this is perfect. I just realized my high beams don't work so it looks like I'll have to dig into the wiring anyway.

Just ordered my air bags too.:)

No, I just had enough time to get the headlights in so I haven't looked at anything yet. The floor switch didn't look or feel too bad but I'll start there.

Made a new black headliner. 2 yds of foam backed material from JoAnn Fabrics and a can of 3M adhesive spray. I went with black because I thought there was little chance of matching the original tan/camel color that was in there. Turned out better than I thought it would. :)

knocked the rust lip off the 1 drivers side drum and adjust the brakes. they worked noticeably better since i could fully adjust them with the rusty lip out of the way. i also changed the rear tires so i now have a matching set of rims on the 93.

hopefully. i don't know if you can tell from the pic or not but there is lots of tread left on them and i got them for free. traded my neighbor 4 crappy tires on other rims for them. i am just not sure if they will do better in water and snow than the Michelin tire that is beside it even tho they have a lot more tread left.

Yeah I can tell they have a lot of tread. There are several northern guys on here that have them and they say they work great.

A couple years ago my wife complained the whole winter that we had all season tires on our family truckster SUV. We ended up trading it in and the new/used SUV came with ATs and now all is good.
