Hello all.
I picked up an '04 about 4 months ago, I've been lurking here since then and I figured it was time to introduce myself.
'Barb' is a California cruiser, at 187,000 when I bought her. Since then I've been fixing little odds and ends all over with help from this forum. First thing I did was remove the side steps and go over the whole car with alcohol to remove about a pound of pine sap from the previous owner's driveway.
Let me tell you, seeing bolts this clean on a 20 year old truck is quite shocking to a New Englander!
Here's the short list of things I've done so far. Come spring my big project will be a nav delete, I've already started collecting parts.
Thanks to everyone on here who posts guides and photos, you've been a big help.
