Re: Junkyard Jimmy Super Low Buck Build Thread

Tonight I was working on getting the door glass in, but ran into a snag with the driver side. The plastic roller that rides in the track inside the door was broken. I didn't know it and hadn't ever pulled the regulator out of the door. Will probably get a new one tomorrow. I shifted over to the passenger side. I got the mirror on and door glass installed with all the felts, etc. A few less rattles.



After that I took a late evening cruise down the highway after sunset. It was another hot day and this was a good time to get out except for the danger of deer at that time, but no such problem reared up. On my way out of town I drove up on the truck scale and it weighed 4220 with me in it. I weigh 230 (minus clothes ) so with the top off I'm at less than 4000 lbs. Find a new SUV even close to that. I think my fusion weighs about that much. Anyway, it's running great, cruises nice, even up to 70 mph, though it feels a little squirrelly at that speed.
