Got a new track bar (Moog DS1235, $125), tailgate bump-stops and a hose adapter/coupling for heater core bypass (band-aid solution until I can afford time/money to do the heater core and A/C evaporator core)...

Well, its been a few days, but I put my bumper caps & fenders back on today. Yesterday I did new foggers, plugs, wires, rotor cap & button, oil & filter and took off my "cold air intake" in place of the original air box and a K&N filter. This all started a few days ago when I took off all my trim and POR'ed the bottom 8 inches of her along with the bumpers. Then I put some x-o rust black satin over that. Repainted the bumper caps, bump moldings, and sprayed bed liner on the rockers. Everything was Desert Pearl except for the bumper caps and bump stop trim. Now its back all the way around the bottom.
Today it was pouring all day so I was only able to get a little done before I called it quits. Pics to come soon.
Once I get some nice weather Im doing trany, trans & diff fluids. And then new pads & shoes. Its going in tomorrow for some new 235's. Ive been running stock 225's for 10 years. Cant wait!

Today I picked up a set of pretty decent shape 31x10.5x15 bias TSLs with 3.75 bs wheels for 250, installed them, scared people in parking lots by rubbing them on my fenders, then cut the fenders.
For anyone wondering they are absolutely terrible on the street but I love them, way better than my old MTR dragslicks.
