Last night, I finished some small details on the truck that needed finishing- I had removed the old foglamps (they had taken some serious road hits) and replaced them wiht a cheap Harbor Freight set ($9) which involved removing the damnable brackets which were held in with clips and screws, the heads of which were not only inaccessible but rusted and crappy, so only three came out at all, and the fourth had to be hacksawed off in place. Anyway, I took the brackets off, stripped them as best I could, using tannin based rust convertor (I think this was the Rust Fix stuff by Rustoleum) and a coat of black paint. Had to weld a brace in, because the old and new fogs attached in different locations, and there was a 2″ x 3″ hole where I wanted to put my bolt. <\/p>\n
Anyway, it all went together last night, and the trip home tonight, in the changing weather, made me remember how much I liked having halogen foglamps. I may just break down and buy a real pair next fall, some KCs or something comparable. Also be nice to have them independant of the driving lamps. Now all I need to do is fix the speaker grille where the Oglet kicked it and broke it when she was five. <\/p>\n
Yeah, she could use a bath too, but the damnable weather just won’t cooperate. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
