Here we go... sorry this be up late... work/more schooling...blah,blah,blah... here's the skinny, 97 LX I got last May... love it, green/gray & tan int (as are most I see round here...) got it lock'd & stock... It was the first one I looked @... then after a dozen more..I went back & got this one... honestly, not to fond of the LX bling...but I could make do until the next one down the road... got it w/ 74k on it, uber-clean & now has like 103K... still fairly clean... but I'm pretty picky so other's might think differently... well, not on here I guess y'all be anal... not a bad thing usually...
Anywho, threw on some BFAT 285's, OME heavy/med...and enjoyed the ride... really not any mods so much...did all the PM stuff except the poopy PHH... front & rear axles, bearings, all amsoil, flushed it all...blah, blah blah...pulled to r-boards, & roof rack... umm... oh yeah, slee end caps for the flares... Pin 7 mod, CDL button mod from a hazzard switch fo Free (thanks to Snowcruiser)...as I need to also send a big thanks to him again as per always lending a hand & his space for me to do this stuff... well, it's his fault I got it anyway... my motor blew a rocker arm (bimmer 325 is) & I needed some not-so-tempermental wheels...ya know something that I wouldn't feel the need to always upgrade & mod...ya know to save some cash (HA!) yeah right...that worked...sort of... and I needed some space for soon to arrive son...My lady sports a JGC 5.9... that poop rolls!! and is quite capable on the trail..we lived in Vail for 2 years & it went everywhere I pushed it... significantly far up Holy Cross...and a lot of special found/hidden spots around Minturn, Leadville, red cliff & vail... but it just got so loose & rattly...ya know...anywho, I go off on tangents easily...back to the LX...
Just got a new rear bumper on a week ago...a custom one-off by Mr. Snowcruiser...similar looking to Christo's... got sliders done up by another shop (will get pics up later ), but not on...getting powder coated... just received my rear OME heavies (to replace rear mediums) from Mr. Goodknight... Thanks Mike (yesterday)...and got some spacers from Mr gasket for the front... I would have more pics up right now, but it's @ the shop for poopy EGR issues... I've done everything I could & know about... but still throwin' the light & I need my emissions done... only out of inspection by a lil while (since June!!!)...Oh I did a lil easy & cheap alley/roof light things with my Yakima bars... cost less than $20... just screwed in some nice lil' lights from wally world & drilled 2 holes in the cross bars right above the towers...ran the wire through...and went in over rear driver's side door (in the jam up top)... behind the rubber/plastic trim...to & down the inside of the trim on the A-post (windshield)...and to the cut outs there & the fuse box below...it does what I need...
I'm a full time EMT & these lights have come in handy on many accident scenes to and from work in the dark...(that sounds bad, but yeah, I come across a lot of s*** sometimes working for 6 different fire/ambulance stations)...also I leave them on when on certain back roads...lights freeze deer ya know... just gotta kick off for the next passing car yeah know... well, that's about it for now... front bumper of some kind coming soon I hope... winchy-poo & a snork... gonna take'er to Vail Next Sept for a romp in the old stomping grounds once Paramedic school is done... should be a nice drive from PA...not as modded as some/most... but it'll get the job done... like I said before...will get up some more pics in the next day... I have a couple now, but kinda weak...check out the seafoam experiment pic... not too bad...later taters... -T
