New Wheels and Tires

New wheels and tires for the Hoe arrived as for a long awaited tune up.







For anyone interested they are 16x8 Black Rock 942 Type D Steel wrapped in Dick Cepek Trail Countrys LT265/70/R16. The 1&1/4 Spacers are still on.

New Corner Bulb Color

As you can see in this picture the corner bulbs are white.





Which, in my opinion, doesn't look good.

I went ahead and got amber ones to match the parking lights.





Here are the stock ones.



Here is the finished product. Notice the change from the first picture.

The transmission just went. It will not go into 3rd and 4th gear. Pending repair currently.

Just got back from the shop with a full transmission rebuild costing about $2590. Shifts like new so I am back up and running!

Cargo Door Rust

So yesterday me and a friend decided to repair the rust on the rear cargo doors because it just looks unsightly.

Inner Driver Dide Door.


Outer Driver Side Door (Not so bad).


Inner Passenger Side Door (The outside was not bad so no picture).




We prepped it with a wire brush on the end of a power drill and sprayed the doors with some Rust-Oleum Automotive Primer.

Driver Side Door (Not really necessary to take pictures of both doors. As you can see that large hole was not there in the first picture. Now I have a massive drain hole).




We masked off the rest of both doors and painted over the primer with some Por-15 Rubberized Undercoating. I drove around like this for a few hours because we went to get dinner.



Today I went out to take some pictures in the sun of the final product. (And to use my "new" camera stand I got for free).



Line going all the way down the bottom of both doors. We eyeballed the entire thing.

Not bad for a 3 hour job.
