Yeah they wiggle right out and wiggle back in.

Two big bolts
one endlink (suggest replacing while ou are there)
And three 15mm nuts in the trunk

Try and keep a leg sticking out of the trunk so no one shuts it on you.

Speaking from experience?

Knowing the way he works on cars...he'll either break something or get stuck in the trunk.

I'd laugh so hard if someone shut me in the trunk.. I hid in my girlfriends trunk once and she started driving down the road and I started banging on stuff. I scared her ****less. She hit the brakes so hard when I started banging stuff i thought she was gonna go through the windshield or something.

When I was in high school (before all this terrorist BS and such), my buddy had an 1985 Caprice. I'd put on a hoody and he duct taped my hands together, then put a piece of duct tape over my mouth (after I shaved...ouch). I'd get in the trunk, he'd goto 7\11 or (K) or something anf pop the trunk before he got out. I'd listen for the doors to shut, count to 60, then jump out of the trunk and run away screaming, lol. He'd come out of the store, see the trunk open, run up, throw the **** he bought in the trunk, slam the trunk and burn rubber all the way around the corner to pick me up, lol. We always got some GREAT reactions out of people...even the Cops...the last time at least. lol.

Easy now. I built the 6 trucks for that film back in the day, so I prefer the remake.

The Rock even signed a plaque with a picture of the main Dodge on it; still on the wall at the old shop.

Gonna try slotting one of my struts then torque the the hell out of the bolt. Only the 1 front tire seems to noticeably have more camber on it and I don't wanna replace them yet.

Other news found the slow leak on my tire, its the size of a pinhole and hisses. So great.

BTW..that peel will stop making noise sooner or later..lol

Well I just drove the car for the first time since the test drive and the 1-2 shift is still harsh, but nowhere near what it was. The guy I bought the VB\CP from said the separator plate was drilled out to firm up the 1-2 and 2-3 shifts, so i'm going to attribute the harshness to that. It's still a LOT better than it was a few days ago, so I know there was a problem before. I'll have a buddy of mine reset the TAPS again tomorrow, just to see what that does, but for now, I'm satisfied. I wish it was a little better, but oh well. I might get a video of it later.

Just my tires not my wheels. I can get some Cooper CS5 ultra tourings local 500 out the door with 70 buck rebate or 533 for some BFG Advantage T/A installed from tirerack. Yours must be like the SE/40th wheels they pit so bad the tire bead wouldn't seat.

LOL. So I took it out to take a video of it, and it actually shifted pretty well. I gave it a little gas and it shifted pretty hard, but I halfway expected it to since I was getting on it a little. It seems to shift better once it warms up a bit, or the TAPS is still figuring things out. I'm just gonna leave it the way it is and drive it. If it continues to give me problems in a week or 2 I'll have my buddy reset the TAPS. Once thing that caught me off guard is my LTFT were pretty far negative. That's a first, I'll see if it happens again, lol. Here's the video, if you can't tell I get frustrated...and I didn't know the camera would pick up the stereo so much, sorry about that:

I know this has been done a million times, but I think I did it better. LOL
