Walk in the Park…start pulling Heads, changing Hard Parts, that’s surgery. Your new ride will be just fine with the work in front of it.

Here we go now. Dropped off to mechanic for

Front struts

Rotors and pads all four corners

Power steering pump and hoses.

Stereo is shot so I’m gonna run pool speaker off a power battery station. Jbl party box 710 takes up whole back seat but it rocks the house. It’ll run 10 hrs at 40% volume on a single charge.

So window tint should finish her off

Safari so good. Ran great today .

28 mpg. Traveling to work. Not bad for a 22 yo 6 banger. Few bugs left to polish out. But she’s a ginning at the present

1500 miles down. Replaced bolt in brake caliper ,gas cap replaced. Gotta replace battery cable ends. There braking into . Sun roof drains stopped got to address that. Tint windows. Then rock and roll till something else surfaces. Took jbl 710 out for stereo it was taking up whole back seat. Replaced with my jbl extreme 2 it only takes up middle of back seat battery last a week. Working out bugs slowly but surely. I’m considering an 7 hr round trip for work , it’s held up well on two hrs commute.

Weedeater string will clean your condensate drain . Thought sunroof drains are stopped up. It was condensate drain. It’s a peeing now. lol. :squinting_face_with_tongue:

Racking up miles now.
