The glovebox lid can a pain, especially if you recovered the Dash and have material rippling in the Opening. Be patient with it.

Replaced the OEM power antenna with the DMCH upgraded unit. Fits well, needing only some drilling in the bottom of the mount bracket to clear the drain port.
Old mast lost its toothed whip after 30 years. Reception and operation are back to normal now.

Went for the first shakedown drive in weeks. The new steering is a real treat and even the wife agrees that the dynamat made a sizable difference at highway speeds.

Saw my roll bar clamps at the front were coming loose (strange), so I tightened those before they came off. Any other bolts I should inspect underneath?

All of them.Originally Posted by SIMid
Trailing arm bolts/nuts are the big ones - look for missing shims and bent bolts. I've never seen anything else come loose chronically. I've never seen trailing arm bolts back off either but I've seen shims fall out and then the bolts bend. Or vice versa.
