I have a problem..Lots of new parts there!
Removed hard top and full doors. I have half doors, but I ordered some dietech mirror brackets and think I'll go doorless for a while.

Had a Jeep first. After spending several hours replacing a leaking RMS, which I had previously replaced, I was laying on the cool concrete floor inspecting my work. I completed the inspection, closed my eyes, and woke up 45 minutes later relaxed and refreshed. When I went inside, my wife greeted me with a cold drink and said she was worried about me working so hard in the heat. I told her it was tough, but I managed!

I’ve done that a few times in my workshop and on the flightline under an F-16. Those naps are the best. 
Just cause it's a disorder doesn't make it a bad thing.
Like this idea. I've been struggling with a throttle body issue that I can't track down. Engine will run higher RPM at a full stop after warmed up but if I put my foot under the gas pedal and pull up, the RPMs then drop. I've replaced the pedal-to-throttle body cable (think it was binding) and still the same issue. It's not all the time but intermittent, so tough to track down. (Issue loves to show up on the way to work - great time for troubleshooting....)
I'm planning for a full throttle body teardown to look for other reasons/general maintenance. I may use your new spring approach when I reinstall. Glad to know I can grab them local.
Pic or it never happened.
Also did this the other day. My center cup holder is a pain. Kinda silly but i likes it. was for my bike but never put it on and just straps right on lol.

If that new spring started out with all the coils touching, like the old one is in that picture, or even if the coils started out a lot closer together it's probably pulling too much when in that position. You really only want the extra strength to do what needs done and then do as little as possible when it's not needed.
I'm only mentioning that because that picture reminds me of similar things done to carburetors many years ago that resulted in the throttle shaft wearing the hole in the carburetor body that it passed through causing a vacuum leak, eventually to the point of barely running.
I'm not saying "Don't add a spring", just don't over do it.
That might not work for beer. Cops frown upon being obvious.
Got my OPDA and cam position sensor replaced. Nice to have that monkey off my back.
#sovereigncitizen lol see how that works out for meThat might not work for beer. Cops frown upon being obvious.
I did that years ago and it made a big difference. You'll enjoy it.
Stop changing your great avatar pics. I get shit for doing it.
p.s. I guess mine aren't "user friendly".
