took the mazda in for the engine and transmission fluid and filter change as well as thransfer case fluid changed out

drives very smooth now no odd shifting anymore

 

I installed a K and N cold air intake, mud flaps, tonneau cover and a Hunter Bull Bar. Fun times.

 

American Eagle wheels, new BFG AT's and a SnugTop... Freak'n stoked!
Whats next........

 

let my truck rest at home, drove the wife's S-blazer to work...and saved gas! lol.

 

New painted grille and 2006 taillights

 

take pride in that cap of yours

they are very rare in canada , and very expensive to purchase

 

Replaced the oxygen sensors (two) and it passed its smog test with excellent readings!

Now to do some upgrades instead of junking it.

 

replaced rear axle brake line, both wheel cylinders, flex line to the rear axle and put on a new 7/8 sway bar.

 

had the tires rotated, removed a loose heat shield on the cat and did this....

 

Fired it up and drove it.

Fell in love with it again.

 

I cussed it out and told it, it was a big POS!!! It will not start to save my life!!

 

Found a junkyard tailgate matching my paint. Brought it back to life and rebadged it, Canopys coming off for summer

Plastidipped my wheels. About $14.00 in product. They look fantastic, it was super easy. It covered all the road rash and clear coat peels.

 

Took my canopy off and put my new tailgate on

 

Installed a tailgate net

 

That turned out great. looks good man

 

Washed it and finally found the better camera.

 

Installed a new CB ..... good buddy......

Oops.... found out "good buddy" doesn't mean what it used to... scratch that comment....

 

took off my new tires and had them rebalanced, still have a slight vibration, might put the tires over onto my original "deer-paw" alloys, kinda sucks, i really liked the deep-dish 8" D-windows, but with the vibration its alot better to look at then it is fun to drive...crazy!

 

Changed the oil, aired up the tires and re-torqued my u bolts. I love having a vehicle that you can slide under to change the oil rather that put it on a lift.

 

drove it up to 80 today, doesnt vibrate much after 65. got some slushy snow here, these wide tires dont do very well in it, a 2wd would be almost undriveable.

 

Here what I've done on mine! little cluster re-do:


Heres once painted:


Heres reassembled in one part;


I'll edit in a picture of once it's back in the truck

 

Made a carpet insert for my box...... dig it...

 

Drove it!!!!
