Got rained out last Wednesday from work, so I ended up doing some work on the rig.
With freezing rain and snow, I opted to work at the fire station rather than my driveway...
I started (after giving it a quick hot shower to get rid of the snow and ice) by replacing the trans support...10 minutes tops to get the old one out and the new one in. Is it a bad sign that it's that easy?
New siren speaker (on right) came in a few days sooner than expected and was able to get that switched out pretty quick as well. On top of that, I got all the tires rotated (finally) and worked on a crackling speaker and got the stereo switched out to one that doesn't freak-out every now and then...
Not part of the Explorer, but thought I'd share...boss gave us $150 Lowe's cards for Christmas and I ended up getting a small flux/MIG welder with it. Haven't had a chance to play with it yet, but I'll post when I do...says it's good for up to 1/4" steel, came with a cheap mask and wire brush, but only cost $159 so we'll see what it does!
