    I asked the doctor if I could wait until winter to do the surgery. He said my choice, but that recovery time tends to be about the same as time left untreated. Waiting 4 months for the surgery sounded nice, 4 months more recovery time sounded less nice so I said let's do it and he got me scheduled in under a week so no complaints there.

    It shouldn’t be bad. I’m thinking 3-4 weeks off. If I can’t handle it you’ll find me in ride planning threads begging to ride shotgun.

    Surgery went well. Doc said it will be about a month until I can get back to wrenching.

    My hand isn't good enough to do major mechanical work yet but I did a tiny bit of electrical today, installed an aftermarket window module in my driver door to allow the window to do the auto-up thing as G-Wagon's only have auto-down but no auto-up until 2018. It's a small change but makes it feel a little more modern.

    What was needed - some sort of jumper on a module or replace the module with a newer version?

    I had to splice an aftermarket module inline to the motor and power. It just passes power through normally unless it detects I hit the window up button twice within a second or two, then it rolls it all the way up. Just an extra little box I zip tied to the stock window control module.

    Stock module



    Aftermarket module



    I tried out these solder seal connectors for the first time, pretty convenient.

    Definitely, I mean it wouldn't run any better, but at least you could roll the windows up and down.

    Shoot, I'd be happy if I had to run the trail uphill both ways like in my grandpa's day.
