STAIN IT!, they last much longer in my experience, but are much harder to apply, but you should be much more statisfied if you do...

And I was close to having a new engine but between my hubby spending just over $1000 on his truck and rent on our new house we just couldn't afford it... So I guess its gonna be a little longer before I get to have a vehicle.

Did both front stabiliser bar links today - took around half an hour a side, old ones were in real bad shape. Still have a slight knocking from the drivers side when hitting bumps, had a good look around the ball joints & found a tiny bit of play in the lower joint on that side - just ordered one on Ebay & will be my next job when it arrives. Still have the original riveted joints so not really looking forward to doing it - hopefully won't be too bad a job though.

This weekend I casually did this to both sides so I could install the last pieces of my front end build, brand new shiny Federal Mogul front differential seals & Moog control arm bushings. isnt it so weird i did those last?
Oh well, everything came apart real nice because its only been together for a couple oil changes. Plus I got to give everything a good inspection. Found out i have another broken drivers side motor mount. Broken like 3 or 4 of those POS things now.![Frown](https://blazerforum.com/forum/images/smilies/frown.gif)

The bad thing is I didn't even know that she was used as an anchor until I went out to check the progress and saw it attached to my hitch. lol.
And I was close to having a new engine but between my hubby spending just over $1000 on his truck and rent on our new house we just couldn't afford it... So I guess its gonna be a little longer before I get to have a vehicle.

Last night I attempted to install the new radio. I had the harness all wired up before I put it in the truck. Pulled the dash off, ran the wire for the aux. cable, and slid the radio in. Started the truck, no power. Checked all my connections, everything was good. I pulled the radio back out and hooked it up directly to the battery and it turned right on. At that point I ran out of daylight, so I brought everything back in the house. Turns out the connector I used for the ground didn't cut both cables. ![Icon Doh](https://blazerforum.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_doh.gif)
Electricity tends to work better when you have a complete circuit. So I'll try again tonight, hopefully nothing else goes wrong.
