Take your ohm meter around to all the bulb sockets- make sure the outer part of each socket is demonstrating a good ground.

Before you button that all up, get some anti-seize on all the bolts in case it ever needs to come apart again.

Some follow-up to my Duke antenna install. I picked up a pretty good SWR meter and here are the results. Much better than I was expecting, especially given it's a pre-tuned antenna and it's inside that thick tube.

There is no such thing as a civilian dash pad. They're just dash pads.

Thanks to member Shackelford R I finally got some antenna whip elements that actually screw together. I moved the whip over to the driver's side and the Duke over to the passenger. The whip even tied down was hitting low hanging branches along the roadside, so moving it to the left side away...

Did that come out of you? :beer:

Er...no but received. When did copy become a term used when nothing is written? :mrgreen:

Very rural junkyard near me, guy commented on mine- said he drove them in the military. Offered him the key and he laughed and showed me the key he still had on his key chain.

Maybe if you were running some amber strobes it wouldn't have happened. ;)

Replaced the broken and rusty tailgate cables with new. Took me a minute to figure out the springs, but it is obvious one you look at them.

Put a toolbox on craigslist and some guy emails me saying he'll take it, but would I be willing to deliver? No, but I'll meet you at such-&-such place about halfway between our two locations. He agrees. So I use the friendly floorjack to lift the box up as high as possible, then climb onto...

That's a design feature. When the tire senses high speeds it sheds the heavy tread and turns itself into a racing slick.

Here's a fair analogy of this discussion so far: Dude1: "I just bought a classic 72 Chevy" Dude2: "Man those suck, you screwed up big time" Dude1: "Really? A 1972 Corvette sucks?" Dude2: "Oh yeah, here's some videos that show how bad they suck" Dude1: "Those videos show a Chevy Chevette, and I...

Discussing oil and filters are like discussing politics or religion. I asked anyone to cite any authoritative source that the filters I bought were less than ideal and I see several posts talking smack, but no answer to the actual question. Now we've devolved to veiled personal insults...

Thanks for the videos that prove my point. 99% efficiency, 10K mile life, and silicone anti-drainback valve. Still don't see what the problem is.

Once again; cite?

I don't use Fram oil filters (Mopar for the Jeeps and Purolator for the M1009) but for $2.60 I'll chance it. These are also the 'tough guard' filters and the can is silver, not orange.

Never heard it happening even once. Cite?

I got my Rock Auto order. Love those Wholesaler Closeout emails.

I'm totally guessing, but either some type of fiberglass or plastic. Working from memory I recall seeing a spun pattern on the unpainted inside of the tube like I would expect from fiberglass, but then I also remember curls of plastic where the sheet-metal screws attache the lid to the tube...
