Had to replace the upper brake light bulb again..Whats up with that cyclop bulb in there anyways? They dont seem to last 6 months...or a bit more..
I guess I should look for a Sylvania long life bulb there or ??

Changed mine once in ten years. Been so long ago , can't even remember when it was now. Think I used a Sylvania when I replaced it. Of course I never use my brakes that much either :icon_lol:

Ya Tom I am glad to hear yours lasts a long time. I was wondering if it may be a problem with the socket.
It looks real burnt in the socket as in black.
The last bulb I got at a gas station cause it was out & needed one right away, so I'm not sure what kinda quality it was.
Here going to work etc the brakes are on a lot as I'm always crawling or stopped in traffic sometimes a hour at a time! --eek. We need less cars on the road here and bridges with more lanes.

Had a tire replaced. Brought it in because I picked up a screw in the tread but there also happened to be a big ass slice that could be pulled back to reveal the cords. Good thing I had the replacement certs from Discount. Got that taken care of then rotated my tires when I got back home.

On a side note, I won't be running Hankook Dynapro ATm's again come replacement time. They cost $150 a piece now. They were $90 when I got mine. Gonna have to pony up a couple extra bucks and go back to a MT.

Put the steering rack back in with new outer tie Rod ends as well and string gaged it. Now I'm sitting waiting for the alignment. Errr someone else working on my Kj hate it but can't use the rack at work as I'm putting in a new bay and Rack. You know thats when I would need it. Son of a pup dog! Now I'll have to adjust the seat when I get back in it.
