Re: New to forum
Last night I replaced the drivers side door handle. Holy crap what a nightmare. I would like to meet the engineer who designed the door handle set up. I would shove his head in a toilet, and I wouldn't bother to flush. I curesed and sweared for 2 hours, trying to get the top nut threaded back onto the new door handle. ](*,)

Jeremy, you have now partially undergone your initiation into all things Astro/Safari. Congratulations. To complete the initiation you must change the sparkplugs in your van.Pipeliner_86 wrote:Last night I replaced the drivers side door handle. Holy crap what a nightmare.

Thanks, so far we love the van. I think I'm gonna look into cranking up the torsion bars a little, and a rear add-a-leaf.phr1$k37 wrote:

Normally, I'd spwe to Mr Newbie about how he should turn and run from this site with wallet in hand. But what the heck's the use. They never listen anyways ](*,)
