Weather‘s too nice to pass for the long over due paint job on the faded and blotched claddings.

Excellent use of utility bills too!
It's the best way to clean them...
highly doubt .. pressure washer .. wouldnt it fray the fabric
How did it turn out? What paint do you use to finish
Pretty common actually. Try the search function.
Turned out very well. We have a local automotive paint supply store here (Las Vegas Auto Paint) who does the paint mixing for me in a rattle can. I give them the code (17F) and they mix it and 20 mins later I come by and pick it up. I use this for clear coat, very minimal to almost no orange peel.

Also, Lol no.
Update on this gafunkel;
Apparently I somehow locked the mechanism on the seat clamp and all I needed to do was pull the release lever to open the hook back up. LOL... only took me having to remove the damn seat to figure it out.
Also, managed to un-strip the (2) bolts. I think all I needed was to call it a rest at 10 PM and try again the next day rested lol.
surely just use some good quality upholstery cleaner ? let it soak then absorb with an upolstery vacuum cleaner .
oh stop it
Took advantage of Ironman 4x4’s 25% off suspension sale!!!
Removed the tired AHC and replaced with the 2 1/2” FCP heavy stage 2 kit, spc UCA’s, and diff drop.
The ride is much better than I expected, not stiff at all.
Oil change and alignment as well.

2 pinion, 4 pinion, locker, open. Same diff!
You should try centering the weight of the ute more over the trailers axles. You'll get less squat and will have better handling.

Considering the rear engine of that SXS I wouldn’t move back more than a foot or so.

I feel like that’s always how it goes. Good luck!Attempted a coolant flush (never could get the passenger side engine drain open), removed my leaking radiator. Installed new thermostat along with new upper and lower hoses and clamps. Installed new TYC rad, started filling and could hear air coming out of the top corner, kept pouring water until water shot out of the top corner. Removed TYC rad, reinstalled old leaky rad. Filled with new coolant. Pulled her out into the driveway around 1am so I could close the garage door and now I can barely stand to look at her.

The good news is I'm getting pretty good at removing and replacing radiators.
The straps i had for this trailer were s*** so i had to sandwhich the car to the front. someone at the office took all the good ratchet straps.
This was just the first time i towed with the LX.
New steering rack and all new hoses. New booties, innies and outies. New brake pads and rotors. Oil change. Took it for a spin in the hills. Got it home, battery is dead and the hood needs a wiffle ball bat to stand at attention. Guess I’ll order the rear hatch arms too. Still need to replace the antenna and the OEM shocks and airbags for towing that have been hanging around for 60+ days. There went the moolah I saved for sliders. Hope that battery bounces back. 3 stream crossings today, glad it made it home!
