It's really looking good seƱor! Boy could my rims use a polish! Can't even tell they are aluminum!
How hard was it to remove the dash? Pretty easy I assume but I've yet to do it and the stock CSd player no longer plays CDs!
Could, I've had my hands full on this trip. Lost the power steering pump and pulley (it was screaming but I had to keep ahead of the nasty ice storm in the south to pick up our Jeep in South Carolina. Had a bad vibration going that I thought was the carrier bearing so I replaced it at a campsite in the Everglades. But on the way out of the park I lost the middle driveshaft (between the tranny and Tcase). Good lesson....even though you find and fix a problem that seems the likely culprit, don't stop there and inspect everything. The bolts had worked loose on that shaft and let her rip right in the parking lot of the visitor center...... So back to town to find bolts, tap and die the remaining ones (and the threads on the shaft end) and whoopsie! I can drive again and no vibration. It was pretty nutty.....to get out of the way of the shuttles I had to steal one bolt from the rear shaft and force in a gommed up one and limp to a parking spot. Thankful to have the Jeep in tow.
Anyway, your work looks like a lot more fun......keep it up! Congrats on the plates too!
