173518 odo Took the old worn winter tires off and put the summer tires on, checked air pressure in all tires before installed. I ran the winter tires all summer because there wasn't enough tread on them to last another winter. I'm going to get new winter tires and put them on soon.

Ordered a MOPAR passenger folding mirror from RockAuto. The mirror is actually for 2001-2004 Dakotas or 2001-2003 Durangos, I had to modify the wiring to get it to work but its works like stock, except the heated bit doesn't work. I can't find the drivers side mirror anywhere, every website says the divers side is discontinued. I will continue looking for it.
