I'm running 24 bolt wheels with Bajas (load range E) and runflats, and they have been balanced. They run totally fine at 60MPH (haven't gone any faster than that).
I'm currently waiting on quotes for the glass from 2 local glass shops.
In the mean time I will also need the gaskets. I can't find them anywhere, not even at Mac Motors. I found some generic rubber U-channel on McMaster Carr:

Gotcha, I do have two broken windows incoming that I can take measurements off of. Hopefully they dont explode into a million pieces when I take them out of the frames!
I need to order a complete set of windows for some X doors I just purchased. It looks like Federal Military parts has a set of 4 "laminated glass" for $289, or a set of 4 "bullet resistant polycarbonate" for $349. I don't beleive that 3/8" polycarbonate will stop ANY bullet, but I'm sure it will...

EDIT: Looks like I have to remove a freeze plug? Not too excited about doing that. I think I might just try the magnetic oil pan heater first.
EDIT again: Looks like a circulating tank heater is another interesting option, anyone...
Now that it's starting to get cold (in the 30's), I noticed my 6.2L starts really rough. It starts up almost instantly, but sounds like it's not firing on all cylinders, actually shaking the vehicle for about the first 30 seconds. Eventually it smooths out and otherwise runs fine. I have no...
It's definitely the dimmer switch. It happened again tonight, so I tried tapping the side of the dimmer switch with my foot. I could make the headlights flicker on and off just by wiggling the switch. Mystery solved!
