Re: Nebraska Rangers!!

Does anyone have or know someone who has the OTC-6488 cam service set? Willing to rent or buy beer in return... ASE Certified mechanic will be using it.

EDIT: Found one.

I do need to source a new driver's seat at the very least... I'm trying to make sense of the FAQ/How-To from the seats section. For my 02, basically anything fits? :)
