I love this color! Great job on the paint correction.
Thanks! I'm finally able to see the depth in the color now that it's clean!

How are you liking those tires assuming you've run ATs or MTs? TIA
So far they're good for what I'm doing. they handled the dunes aired down to 10psi, they get a bit packed when in snow, (I spend a handful of weekends a year in the snow) they did great on ice. they're quiet and smooth on the road. My next tire will have more "bite" to it, as I have a little more wheel spin than I'd prefer. Otherwise for my normal regular use they have been great and they were offering a discount when I got em.

And finally saw an 80, though it was all the way over in Jerome! Have been surprised not to see more cruisers out here
My 80 does not get much attention with Maltec 80 series based trucks around. Its in good company under a watchful eye though.
Dude, I have the same wheels. Love them. Look awesome man,,

What's the height difference between those 2012 WRX seats and the OE?
Added a mechanical oil pressure gauge and a water temp gauge.
Where did you get those gauges

Started my front axle 'rite of passage' rebuild today. Glad I did too, lock nut found off and spindle stripped. Looks like PO bent lock washer the wrong way and stripped the index protrusion off of it. Additionally no gasket on drive flange found and bearings made in China. New spindle ordered, part# 43401-60081 . Hoping for a smoother ride.
Tip of the hat to Cruiser Outfitters @cruiseroutfit for the rebuild kit and misc other parts. It arrived so fast that I'm sure it was mailed before I was off the phone!
Yes i did it myself. All of the products i used are from Adams Polishes. (except the alcohol) used both size buffers and (3) different pads - Microfiber pad (mostly with the heavy as its the most abrasive) Blue pad (with the heavy compound) Orange pads (for the regular correcting polish)
Spot free rinse (since i had just washed it 2 days earlier)
Adams clay bar with detail spray.
Adams Heavy correcting compound for the areas that had deeper scratches and swirls on swirls on swirls.
Adams correcting polish, on the entire vehicle (minus the hood its wrapped)
Completely wiped everything off.
Rubbing Alcohol in a spray bottle, wiped across everything i was coating with ceramic.
Adams liquid ceramic coat.
Then 2x Modelos to celebrate.
