Replaced my worn bushing rear control arms with Metal Tech. Adjustables. It was my first time doing any suspension work so it took me twice as long as advertised.
I’m not planning on doing a lift anytime soon but I bought these for the possibility.
This week I coated my almost ready to crack leather with conditioner and put on some Seat Designs neoprene seat covers and some molle seat back covers from Skull Vibe.
Happy with how it turned out for the money.
Maybe the Carhart custom covers would fit better and last longer but I’d rather put...
Hmmm, I don’t know for sure. There is a link to the install instructions on the web page. I haven’t pulled the trigger on it yet because I’m not sure if I’m going to keep my cheap hitch mount spare carrier or wait till I can hoard enough cash to buy a Dissent bumper.
FM reception is good so far but AM reception with it isn’t good. I just Bluetooth/FM stream those stations anyways and the sound quality is far better than AM with a stock antenna.
It’s a super easy install.
Remove the old mast. Insert the adapter sleeve and tighten the ring, screw on antenna...
I've got 5 1998 LC OEM 16"s that I just pulled off my rig. They don't have any big damage just typical scratches and small nicks from 22 years of use. They’ve got 265/75 Hankook MT’s mounted on 4 and a stock size Michelin LT on the spare.
I’m in Castle Rock.
Replaced the antenna with one from AntennaMastsRus.
And got the new wheels and tires this week. Had to do some Orange County Choopers style “fabrication” to get the front center caps on.
Changed out heater T’s and hoses with a Wits’ End OEM kit. 217k and only one broke during removal.
Installed Headlight Experts LED low and high beam bulbs. They told me the DRL’s would still work but they are only barely lit. So I’ll test out the lights tonight and call them Tuesday. I may...
Had my trusty mechanic tidy up the front end; New upper control arms, inner and outer tie rods and ball joints up front.
Such an improvement.
The rear upper bushings are shot as well so I'm sitting down now to order some Metal Tech rear control arms since that's something I can do myself with...
Blacked out my peeling chrome grill yesterday. I picked the color based on a black off-road bumper. Came out pretty good considering the minimal prep work I had the patience for.
Hi all, new here with a ‘98. Just got her a few weeks ago.
Replaced antenna mast and hood/hatch struts the first week.
Installed shock absorbing hitch step and LED interior and tag bulbs the next week.
This week removed the running boards and spooned on some 32’s to replace worn out Michelins...
