\"Scoutmas\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Finn and I spent some good time running errands with Finn in the Scout this weekend, and it reminded me that I need to order and install new rear seatbelts. They are original to the truck, as far as I know. Finn pulled the female clasp side off of the belt early in the fall, so I shifted her carseat behind the drivers’ side. I’d like to get something more modern and reliable<\/a>, as well as male clips that reach a little further. The big pain in the ass will be crawling under the truck to put a pair of vice-grips on the tiedown bolt in the center of the bed; at the very least I’ve got to measure everything and figure out what I’ll need for a warm day’s project.<\/p>\n

I’m also going to spend a little cash on these LED marker lights<\/a> and modify them for use, based on this thread from the Binder Planet<\/a>. Eventually all the lights will go to LEDs but for now I’ll start with this.<\/p>\n

And, I asked Santa to bring me a Rotopax setup for the third year in a row, so here’s hoping this time’s the charm. I also put a Hi-Lift retainer donut<\/a> on my list, as well as a velcro-based LED light for the rollbar<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Finally, I’ve got some time between Christmas and New Year’s to myself; I think I’m going to mosey down to Crazy Ray’s and see if I can find a decent pair of PT Cruiser seats.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
