The following has taken place over several weekends
Got tired of the dim sealed beam halogen headlights in the Nationalist, but I don't want the cheesy LED replacements. To keep the stock look but better performance I ordered the conversion from Headlight Experts. They look just like factory sealed beam lights but the backs are molded to accept LED bulbs.

more recently I did rear brake drums, shoes, and a wheel cylinder. Pictures cannot capture the amount of swearing and frustration that project creates. Side note, Hobo Freight brake spring tools bend way too easy.
