What did you do to your SMB today?

Installed two drawers under the stove. One for dishes one for cooking supplies.

Re: What did you do to your SMB today?

My 3rd brakelight has been out for at least a year now (since someone pointed it out to me).

Took it apart today. The bulbs are good, but it's a rusty mess in there. Totally crumbled apart.





I plan on replacing it (covering it up) with a waterproof LED light, like the one jage used:

Packed it for the snow trip tomorrow am. Got new badass chains, just in case.. Put winter window washer fluid in so my sprayers don't freeze. Oh and mainly stocked the fridge with beer and food. Yup I'm excited. Snowboarding here I come.

Re: What did you do to your SMB today?

I put some scratches in the side of my SMB. My adult son, who takes meticulous care of his car, looked at my Sportsmobile and said, "Did you put those scratches in the side of your van?" "Yes," I replied, "but I had fun doing it." My van was scratch-free until last week when I took it on some tough desert mountain roads. That's the same trip where I broke off my passenger door step and lost a cap to my wheel hub. The things we do for fun.

Geoffff ... how did you get the red lens off the 3rd brake light? Just pry it out? I tried on mine to check for rust, but it's so tight I was afraid I might crack the lens if I forced it.

Thanks.

Yeah, it was pretty tight even after removing the two screws. I used a flathead screwdriver -- in the four divots you can see in my photo (well 3 are visible) -- to carefully pry it out.

Uh, careful with those 3rd brake lights... mine had screws FROM THE BACK (meaning: put the PH up, two more screws one from each side)

Hi;

We dragged it through the gallows and cut it's head off.

Regards,
