Had a leaky windshield for 10years! Finally got a replacement windshield from a parts car and bought a new aftermarket seal. Sanded some rust away and primered the area prior to installation. At this time also removed the one piece headliner for my 2 piece swap later.

Made it down to Baja Sur! No surf yet but plenty of exploring and off roading. Blew out the plug on the back of the power steering pump one night and barely limped back home with no power steering. JB weld to the rescue to seal the hole...dear god I hope it will hold fluid now.

Rear suspension barely hangin in there

The culprit - PS fluid leaked out that hole as fast as I could pour it into the reservoir

Damn hood insulation fell off too from being soaked.

Hoping to be able to drive today...I need more beer n tacos :hillbilly:

You need a set of Airlift bags in the back of that! $100 and 2 hours if you're slow and it's done!

Tell me about it!! She's fine now that all the weight is off but if we keep pullin trips like this with all this gear, I will definitely have to invest in some air bags. There are plans on suspension upgrades in the future if I ever find the time to actually buy/pick up the parts :D

Yeah the rear 864's would be perfect for you with that load and the bike off the back!
 
What head unit and powered sub? Interested to see the results
The radio- Kenwood DPX592BT
The speakers- 2 sets of Kenwood KFC 1695PS
The powered amp is Kenwood KSC-SW11

I decided to fix all of the wiring upfront, and have now installed the speakers in the doors. somehow, they managed to cram a 5x7 in the front doors. The rear doors were still the stock speakers. It sounded pretty bad, but wasn't concerned with it.
 
Just general maintenance. Fixed my shakey mirror and have an A/C compressor on the way.

Bought one of Trail Tailor's last production front bumpers a little while ago and finally got around to having it "Line-Xed" It was an easy direct bolt-on replacement. Now I'm contemplating secondary lighting and a winch.

Quality work. I highly recommend Jason for your custom work.

The red guy in the background is my little boo-boo. Had her eight years and 100,000 miles so far (240,000 total), and she's running great.

Both are 1994s.

Looks good! I can send you the link to the LED bar that fits perfect in the gap and I can hook you up on a COMEUP winch when you're ready as well.

Thanks again for the order,

Jason
 
Well after going to rubithon for 3 consecutive years it was time for the flares to go... Used JB Weld Steel stik to fill all of the damn LX holes (normal 80 dudes you are lucky) and then plasti dipped it dark grey. Eventually I will go back and monstaline it the medium quarts grey. Passes the 10 foot test with flying colors and it only took a single day to do!

Just what I like to hear! Sounds like the airbags will definitely need to be considered when hauling the bike around then...that or either get a trailer so that I can actually open the rear hatch while hauling the bike :mad:
