Ummm, you're about one page too late:

Have you thought about the canvas/plastic windows like Rick has, i've always thought those were cool. I'm sure you're mom could make those no problem if you can get your hands on the material.

the spindle connect to the upper and lower control arm, and hold the hub that hold the wheel on..

Close.

The knuckle is the part that holds the spindle, and is usually between two ball joints (or pivot points, for those that have bearings instead of ball joints). The hub rides on bearings, which are supported by the spindle. The spindle is attached to the knuckle, and so on..

All vehicles have spindles, knuckles, and hubs. Most 4x4 people call their lockouts hubs which is wrong; a lockout is a lockout, and a hub is not a lockout, but the lockout is connected to the hub.

What changes is when it's 4x4, front wheel drive, and rear wheel drive, and then you get into full vs semi floating axles..

I don't think that's a flag...I think that's what's left of his side currtin Air bags:



Sorry I'm a bit late on my game, I've been in vegas, and had 5 mins in my day to check the board


As far ar rear cargo windows, I'm going to look into making some hinged plexi-glass windows. They work like a window on the back of a camper shell Once I figure it out maybe I'll start selling them

So not only did Gil have his side air bags go off, but it also took out his seatbelts. He said the passenger one will not even pull down.

Thanks.
