Glad you started a journal for the GL. Ive been checking in since it left on Christmas day. I do miss her. As for the stereo....no clue. We too bought a cord thinking it would work for an I-pod but no such luck. The stereo was free so thats what I put in there. I think it is pre-MP3. Put up some larger pictures and keep the updates coming!!

Sold. Just took a trip down memory lane. Re-read through every page of my journal. Im gonna miss her, I cant wait to see what Missouri has instore for the ol GL.

Hows the bushing mount holding up now?

Well I think we have decided to sell the GL Our trip to Prescott was amazing. It gave us plenty of time to think about this decision and we need a larger off road vehicle. I will be posting it in the classifieds.

Yeah kinda torn right now. Still have a good 4 months to figure it out but reality seems to be setting in pretty quickly. We take our dogs everywhere too, they are part of the family and take up a bunch of space. Ill be sure to tell Jim HEY!

Good news.....finally takeing the GL out of state. We are heading to Prescott AZ for the Prescott Rally. We are leaving a day early so hopefully we can get some wheelin in. Caught up on some maintenance finally. New inner and outer tie rods, brakes, painted front bumper, swapped a/c o rings for the correct ones, radiator flush with new thermostat and new cap. Just a few of the smaller items she was in need of. Bad news.....come feb 2014 our family will be plus one more (this is acutally good!!!! but bad for the car) I fear it is going to get tight for 2 adults, 2 children and 2 dogs. Not sure exactly what this means yet but may need a larger wheeler. I guess if I had the right offer I would sell and build something with more room for us.

Very strange. We've never had one break, even on the rally car where we break wheels, struts and lower control arms. I would try running the factory bolt through there. You will obviously need the proper nut too. The factory bolt is a flange head to disperse the clamping force more evenly on the large slotted hole. Or you can retain whatever bolt it is you are using and run a large diameter and thick washer. My guess is that the mating surface of that bolt is barely larger than the slotted hole, so it is trying to work its way into the hole and the only option it has is to open the hole. This will result in it cracking at the weakest point. Try it and see what happens.

Need pic of what is breaking

What do you mean breaking? Squirting all the juice out? Yours are probably liquid filled for less vibrations. Those break all the time. Just get some off a 04-07 STI. You shouldnt have a problem with those.

It seems I have something sucking some juice from the battery. But seeing as it sat for 2 months Im not too surprised. Quick jump and shes back to life.

I may be mistaken but are there GL's out there with rear shoulder seatbelts? I would like shoulder belts for the rear and I would like to have some headrests on the rear seat as my 8 year old is growing like a weed now.
