What, for you, has been the best bang for the minute?
Today, I spent about 2 hours disassembling, lubricating, and reassembling my door latch mechanisms. First side took about 1.5 hours, taking my time to take pics and ensure I knew how it all went back together, washing the latch with simple green, lubricating with silicone spray, and reassembling. The 2nd side took about 30 minutes with breaks to kill two beers.
The effort required to open the doors, from inside and out, was reduced ten fold. What used to take two thumbs on the passenger side can now be done with one pinkie.
For the effort and difficulty required, this has got to be some of the best bang for the minute, and the buck(nearly free), that I've spent on my bronco.
