Post what you did to er and maybe even a picture to accompany it.

Today I just washed it and did a quick wax job. It was pretty dirty from about 5 commutes to work!

LMAO ouch in all fairness I dont think I've ever gotten leaf springs via shipping .. I picked them up at local shops the last time I needed any. come to think of it I dont think any of my vehicles I still own have them .. and more the amount of boxes of car parts I;ve been flooding the house with . LMAO wife asked if i bought the entire parts catalog.. my reply.. not yet

Oh, this was all Hotchkis/Global West stuff. They seriously sucked to move - I ended up making two handles, one with a ratchet strap, the other with a bungee cord, so I could at least get some kind of grip on the **** thing.

I'm sure my brother irritated them in a similar fashion when he had all the suspension parts for his '01 Mustang shipped to my house last year, haha.

It's better than my UPS or FedEx guys must've felt when I bought all the suspension for my Camaro - especially the giant 80-90lb box with leaf springs in it. That...was not an easy box to move. The box just bends around the springs and it's 5 feet long, so there's no good spot to grab it.

When I got the new leaf springs for my old Cherokee, they were just bare springs with shipping labels stuck to them 😄

They look even nicer under the car, where you're definitely not expecting them, due to all the patina on the body.

While it would not have protected them as well...they'd have been much easier to move into my house, haha.

Tinted the windows and put the bike rack on. Tint makes it look so much better!

We almost got rid of the tint restrictions here in Michigan years back, but the outgoing governor refused to sign it in because of some bullshit excuse.

So yep, still go back and forth on risking it. Really would benefit the Cruze and the Volt (especially the Volt), because the sit outside.

Atleast he reinstated the law for making SxSs legal to ride on the roads (when properly outfitted)

That doesn't really affect me, though I hope that doesn't mean freeways. I've not seen them on there, so I expect that's not the case. Could care less as long as they're not in my way.

Then again, if they did away with tint laws, where would Clawson, Berkley and Royal Oak get half of their revenue from (nevermind that their windows are basically opaque).

LOL im up by port huron so but used to live down at 11 and schoenherr. they could be plated and driven on any road if you wanted to go through the hassle. As of right now it is legal to drive them on
any road that has a speed limit less than 55 and non trunk lines (no interstates or M roads), in any county thats not oakland, macomb, or wayne.

I'm up in Washington, so I'd expect to see them more around here, but I don't, but if it's because of being in Macomb County, well that's why. Which is fine, I deal with tractors enough, don't need another something (albeit something that can go more than 20) thrown into the equation.

Finished installing the fog lights on the cruise and for some reason they are not lighting up. I took it to the dealership and they programmed it but it’s not working. the light lights up on the Dashboard. I jumper’d the foglight side of the fuse and they light up. I then hooked up the multimeter and I have Continuity but nothing changes when I hit the switch, no 12 V is applied

weird that the switch turn on the light in the dash and the back lights work. I’m wondering if the dealer screwed something up which is unfortunate since it’s a one and done code. I have a feeling they will try to blame the install......

Finished beefing up the runs. 4awg for the alternator return and two 4wg ground straps, one to chassis, the other to the head.

Engine light went away so least to say the OEM ground strap was succumbing to the corrosion.
