So I'm just reporting back on these clips. They fit wand work well but they are definitely much more brittle than the factory ones. Like a harder plastic. I was jacking up my reassembly sequence because I was rushing and I had to pull the panel back off 3 times.

There were 4 or 5 I replaced out of the about dozen factory ones. The new clips broke every single time. And one broke during installation. So just a heads up they are pretty much one time use and be ginger lining them up to the holes in the door frame and installing them. I am glad I had them though. Door panel is nice and snug now. Thanks @Doubeleive :)
I wonder if a small cut on the lip edge would make them more flexible?

It's the locking prongs that stick out the sides that break easy when you go to pull the panel back out. I probably got half a dozen pieces lost in the abyss of the bottom of the door. Hopefully won't clog up my drain holes. I didn't have time to fk around with a shop vac, I had to get to work before the place went up in flames LOL.

I also keep getting a 12" round wet spot under my driver's side floor mat. Pissking me off. Can't tell where it's coming from.

Mine gets wet on the drivers side as well haven't really looked into what it is yet, one of these days i will have to pull the carpet up and figure it out.
could be from the firewall seal is my 1st guess or something around the wiper arm/motor, need to pull the shroud up and look there as well

Finally got the rear bumper bar replaced with factory hitch.
got a curt 7-pin connector (but didn't come with screws, so need to go get some to mount it)

taking off the old bumper bar, you can see it was actually bent pretty badly, which explained why the old step pad was broken, and why the new one wouldn't sit correctly, as it was pushing up with the bumper.

Wednesday night, I went out for gas and groceries. Hit a hard dip along the way to get gas and did something to a wheel speed sensor or the circuit:

Kinda fed up with the inaccurate alcohol content shenanigans:

Hit a milestone and took pics:

Just the typical Sunday stuff...

Swapped the left and right wheel speed sensors around to diagnose a failed sensor.

Measured (again!) the circumference of my rear tires with weight on them to quadruple-check what it's currently programmed as.

Found I've been close to an engine fire for about 200 miles now.

Collected a fuel sample.

I have a Dead Battery sitting four months and put charger on overnite. Wil check it soon. Also 3 flat tires from leaking wheels. Will update, but will change batt as its 12/17 date
if you know it's going to sit I would just disconnect the battery and maybe even put it in the garage, they can sit for a long time and not loose anything if not subjected to hot/cold over and over. I have one out in the garage going on 3+ years and it still shows 12v, I think I used it once for 2-3 weeks at some point and then put it back in the garage

Front mudflaps from my '13 Sierra donor. Fit better behind the inner fender. Had to re-drill two of the holes in the flap but the top screw, bottom inner clip, and the bottom bolt under the rocker all lined up perfect.

Once the roads dry up I'll wash it and see how good they work. All that mud is the reason I made these fit. I hate winter, let's go global warming

Getting ready for a camping trip with the 2012 towing mule later this week and thought I’d change the oil. Talk about pulling a string. Noticed that my oil cooler lines have gone from a seep to a steady, slow drip. Wait… is that an orange stain below my drivers side motor mount? Fuuuuuuck.

Buttoned up after the oil change and went for a drive. Strange noises coming from my left front wheel. Got home, jacked up that side and sure enough, play in the bearing. Good lord.

So I decided to get it done. Replaced the wheel hub, swapped the motor mount with the Hummer mount I’ve had waiting for this, and installed new cooler lines. All from my new parts stash. 6 hours later and it’s time for bed!

I have one of the hummer mounts stashed for this. How did you jack the motor up to replace that?
