Roughly prioritized and edited as we go. Also pinned to the top, so new posts are below.
- Major
- ✅ Reinstall propshaft
- ✅ Transmission flush — Started… and finished!
- ✅ Rear brakes, replace drums, shoes, and flex hoses — Started and still going and now assembled…
- ✅ Front brakes, replace flex hoses
- ✅ Coolant leak, investigate and replace hoses if necessary — Evan thinks this is a heater hose. Checked and re-seated. And it passed the test drive.
- ✅ Clutch leak, investigate — Replaced slave cylinder, flushed and bled system. Twice…
- ✅ Tires, evaluate wear — They’re old but are okay for a while longer.
- ✅ Rust spots, grind and spot treat
- ✅ R Blinkers stuck on when headlights are on
- ✅ Tailpipe, replace — Along with the muffer, apparently
- Minor
- ✅ L/R Windows, replace trim, seals, and glass channels
- ✅ Passenger door handle, replace
- ✅ FM Antenna, replace
- ❌ Door speakers, replace — Speakers acquired, but they do not fit. Gonna have to take this home.
- ❌ Brake line guides, 3D print replacements from my original designs
- ❌ Coolant expansion tank, design and 3D print a replacement cap
- ✅ Battery tie-down, install — The truck never had one, but it should; the universal one is too tall so it needs to be cut down
- ❌ Sheared bolt extractions (the truck and Xterra each have a sheared bolt that would be really useful if I were able to clear) — We don’t have an extraction kit and decided not to add that to the list this week.
- Random stuff we thought of after too many beers
- ✅ Bench upholstery? — Oh shit. Well I’ve pulled it and taken it to a shop.
- ✅ Sound deadening patches, add to doors and floorboards
- ❌ Radio, replace (because everything is Bluetooth now, but the truck is not) — I’ll do this when I get back home. Amazon’s radio selection is limited in my budget of “almost free.”
- ❌ Xterra’s windshield, replace because the crack from New Mexico is now three feet long and I have to get it done eventually… — This needs doing, but not today.
