    It runs! (and some questions...)

    Took it on the first family outing yesterday - to walmart for groceries! I have learned that maybe having the tailgate vs barndoors does have benefits... :-) Also, I think the funny noise I was hearing is gone. I listened for it when I got to work this morning, and didnt hear it. I know I...

    It runs! (and some questions...)

    I should mention, I have parking lights, and dash lights, just no headlights. High beam indicator isnt working either. I suspect maybe I missed a ground...

    It runs! (and some questions...)
