I've heard of some folks not getting their title for MONTHS by dealing with dealers like that. I never buy a used vehicle without walking away with a title at the same time just because of that but glad that you got yours just in the nick of time.

I learned a lesson. Luckily va has some good laws requiring new temp tags until you get the title.

Sorry for the mundane. I'll get to engine, cams and turbos when I have a solid, comfortable platform.

New mats!


Made by....


They fit perfectly


New gas cap, super exciting


Gate paint rust...


Because this fills with water...


Filled seam with this to stop more damage.


This was peeling up.


So I taped it down


Did I do good?!


Yes! So dance is mandatory!!

Those mats look nice!!

Tail gate seam and rear door edge on the wheel well (non xl)are terrible designs.

Check all the door seams behind the rubber seal on the bottom. Then shoot some of this in there.

Floor mats win!! The little things count and make a big difference. Been doing the same thing myself. Sure it's not a cam and turbo, but who wants to drive a turd that looks like a turd? Don't think anybody on here does. Efforts applauded.

Water pools and rusts the gate.

I'm thinking of drilling a couple holes for drainage in the far corners of the bumper cover. I felt behind and it would just drain straight to the ground. Too crazy?

Seems logical to me. Make them small enough holes and no one would notice and the cover is just plastic so it's not like you'd be creating a new place for the vehicle to rust

Progress looks good so far!

Lights were dimming when the fans were kicking on. Alternator checked out ok. Battery was 5+ years old.

I picked up an AGM battery. People are religious about battery manufacturers. As far as I can see is that there are few makers and many names. I find a local place and get the biggest damn battery.
