Replaced my differential bushings with poly bushings. The ones that were in there were old and cracked. I have rattle back there that I haven't been able to identify it. Thought I had it when I saw the cracks in the diff bushings. New ones didn't solve my problem. I'll be pulling the spare and riding in the back while my step son drives so I can see if I can isolate a location on the rattle(s).

Also replaced the thermostat. It threw a code indicating it had a short.

Since I have lots of time on my hands I'll probably go through and do a top to bottom, front to back detailing. Including the engine bay.

I am really wanting to do the full wax detail on both cars too but I just can't seem to find any motivation to even start.

Definitely not a job I would consider fun.

Fair enough. As its under a cover, my OCD is fine with it.

Pretty sure I've seen a video of getting that ashtray out - can't recall if it involves removing the centre console or not. I hope not, for the sake of your OCD.

Nice little lockdown project if you do have to remove the centre console - I hear it's quite a mission...

that's what I am dreading removal of my center console I hope it not too drawn out process or there a shortcut... some where.... previous owner wired something in my fuse box and i have no idea where the wires go there behind my radio and glove box. This is going to be a 2 part project that just tied a wire around the fuse and pushed it in
