Do the skids have to come off for oil changes?

Is that rust bubble spot below the rear quarter windows? If so you may just need to pull the belt moulding below the windows and not the seal itself. But I think both involve similar amounts of work—in both cases pulling the upper and lower internal trim is the hard part. Window comes off with two nits up front and two at the motor in the rear. Just have new belt moulding on hand because by all accounts you’ll destroy the original removing it.
i used a dremel tool flap wheel to grind the rust away and Eastwood’s rust encapsulate spray. I’ll let you know in five years how it worked!
Thread about the overall job here: Replace Moulding, Quarter Window--the trim at the front of your rearmost window

Thanks! I saw your thread after posting here, apologies.

The fun begins. My hood stays up ON ITS OWN now, and the blinkers all work. Big, fancy stuff at Jake’s place.

Question for the hive mind. My suspension creaks on this thing like crazy. Are there any common breakage points or things that get particularly old and dry under these... or is it just a matter of tracking down what bushing needs grease/ replacement and getting that done? I know previousowner got some things replaced as needed, but there sounds to be something else still in need.

All polyurethane bushings will squeak when run dry. If you don't have them and the squeak/creak is from front then most probably your ball joints. Search here for how to check for the play on them.

I think I recognize that grease. I've been using it for years. Good stuff. Don't get any of it on you or your clothes. It is hard to wash out.

Green Grease?

Clean the rear cargo and removed the third row.

Thanks - I'm gonna have to trade garage places with my car and get under this thing and poke around in more detail. There are several different items to attend to of which that's just one- gathering parts, tools, and fluids now.

 

[SLC470]

Serviced front and rear slip yolks and replaced the two rear U-joints.

Old U-joint with sheared off zerk

Next up radiator (old and small leaks), thermostat (PM), serpentine tensioner (PM), and some low pressure PS lines.

 

[ClassyJalopy]

Uh-oh!

Green Grease?

Yep.

Almost everything is out...

Are you working on it? ... or just trying to get it low enough to fit in the garage

Hahaha.

Surprisingly enough it fits in there. I wish that ceiling was higher, trust me.

To the @BenCC M12V3 overhead mount:

So I can use the CruiserGarage ashtray mount, for the remote head of a ham radio...

What did you use to mount the phone on the right side of the dash?

I've tried the location but had no luck.

Is it a @BenCC RAM mount of some sort?

Are those harbor freight jack stands? There is a recall saying those are deadly! Just take those back to them

Yes, we used a @BenCC M2V2

Builds - Benjamin’s 3D Prints Build

Patiently waiting for the Yaesu FTM-400 mount. These got super popular last year due to the instant rebate and the Wires-X.

With a RAM X Grip and a few other Ram pieces. Putting the phone in the X Grip is not a simple one handed procedure, but it does hold the phone really well.
