    Well...since I finally got some free time off from work, this week, I have installed or completed the installation of:

    1. Tone's 4800K headlight bulbs, 3rd brake light flasher kit, and rear door popper.
    2. Two LED light fixtures inside the upper rear corners to light the cargo area, connected to the dome light circuit.
    3. Stuffed some fiberfil into the large areas between the outer sheet metal and plastic panels in the rear (trying to improve the interior acoustics)
    4. Given the Proton it's first good exterior bath since October; used Armor All Extreme Tire Shine Gel on the cladding (thanks go to VXCrazy for the suggestion!)

    Still to go, over the holiday period, are:
    1. Trying to fix the problematic windows
    2. Transmission and differential fluid changes
    3. Tone's transmission filter installation
    4. Brake pad/rotor inspection

    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone!

    Biju...you're doin this on purpose. I ordered 4 Dune Grapplers Sunday (285/60/18...$201 ea.) They came back as backordered, so it'll be a bit before they get here. Probably just order the OME springs, since the lift will most likely be necessary. I don't know if these things are gonna mount on the stockers (wish they would) if not, add some sort of wheels (black) to the list. Merry Christmas 0177, ol' friend. Wayne

    ???? - I'm confused.

    Anyways - I'm in the same boat. The tires are backordered. And they should mount to stock wheels. My grapplers did anyways...
