The interior the day I got her. As clean as it gets. New carpet, seats, headliner, all lights/power everything works and AC/heater as well. Bolted the seat down correctly and added new weather tech mats all around. Minor details

Found a plug coming out of one of the rear tires, I figured it was time for new shoes. Went with a set of Cooper discoverer STT pro 35x12.50r15 on the already there Eagle Alloy rims. Sure beats the mismatch tires I picked it up with. Then she got a bath to wipe the blue off the white letters

Everything was working fine, but she obviously wanted me to work on her. She threw a belt on the way home from dinner one night, still not sure how. Think it was an old AC condenser. Once I got it off, the pulley sounded like grinding. Replaced the AC condenser too that opened up a whole new can of worms

Yanked off the bull bar and skirt from the front bumper, then she looked naked. Almost like something was missing. Put the bull bar back on, for now
Why did you take the trim off?

A guy at work has those tires on his 4 runner, look nice. I like the bull bar, good choice on ditching the skirt.
Those tires were running on the same barrowed time that the belt was.
Nice ride.
Nice ride.

It was all steam cleaned right before I got it. I’ll get pics soon
Everything you need to know and a lot of stuff you don't.

Finally had some time to throw on new lower molding on the passenger side. Figured I’d make it match, so I tore the old molding off the driver side and replaced that too. Bummed I lost the ‘1500’ logo, but looks better. Now just gotta find new front bumper and rear corner moldings to match

a couple pictures of the previously steam cleaned under carriage and engine bay. In the past while did new fuel injectors, starter, optima red top battery, fuel filter, ac relay, blower motor, a few fuses, spark plugs, and wires. Nothing wrong with it all, moreso for peace of mind.

Finally had some time to spend with the ol’ girl today. Replaced a/c system resistor, ignition coil with a MSD, knock sensor, coolant temp sensor, upper and lower radiator hoses, and did a coolant system flush. Sacrificed 2 old grips from my boys dirt bike as a funnel for the antifreeze.
