Haha. I had a buddy who thought when people would type lmao when they were talking to him were calling him a lame-o even though that made no sense since the letters aren’t even in that order. He wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed. Lame-o!

Finally got around to changing my knock sensors. Had both wires tied to the one good sensor since October when I bought the rig. Felt good to clean up the engine valley as well. Hoping to do sway bar bushing and links tomorrow.

Oh and I also installed my 1.25 hub centric spacers as well!

Hell yeah!! I got my million alcohol wipes the other day, so I have no excuse to wait to do mine... except for all the labor involved to clean all the gunk off that I’ve been applying for a couple years. Lol.

i literally did none of that. i washed it a few days before with normal car wash soap and then had some time to waste so started applying it. came out great. i just need to do a few more parts, side view mirror trim, mud flaps, and i think im gonna put it on the plastic parts at the back corners between the glass, what ever those are called lol

Pretty much what I did too. Yesterday I washed it, today I wiped it down with denatured alcohol ( I always have a gallon can of it plus some others like lacquer thinner) and applied the Cerakote. I was worried since I had painted mine 2-3 years ago and this stuff says it’s for unpainted plastic but it came out great. Oh and I vacuumed today too. Hope the Cerakote lasts on the painted plastic, we’ll see.

That’s a great idea. It’s always a struggle to get that plastic trim around the rear windows, and rear glass to look decent. I’ll bet the cerakote will work great!

I think I’ll try that too. I always hate applying any product to those though, it’s hard to keep it off the glass and paint.
