    2"CB shackles, bushings and 1 shim, lockerdown console vault, rear folding seat back mod, snugtop shell with opening side windows, 46g fuel tank, SDHQ sliders and hidden winch, Decked Drawers, Alcan leaf springs and got rid of the interior chrome
    I would suggest that air blowing into the cylinder probably doesn’t remove all of the metal filings and that a shop vacuum attached to a small tube might help complete the cleaning.
    Nice video though, and looks better than a helicoil repair.
