Hello From Baltimore, Md

Hello NPORA - I'm new here out of Baltimore, MD.

 

I recently acquired a white/tan '98 SE auto. It was my in-laws, then gifted to my wife, and handed over to me.

 

I've been wanting an older suv/truck for a while now, so I'm excited to finally have something. It's been a bit neglected over the years, but I'm here to learn as much as I can and hopefully return it to some of its former glory.

 

I've learned a lot here on the boards so far. In particular, I was able to diagnose the common "wobble" problem. Those rear control arms will be addressed sometime this week.

 

Anyway, hello again - glad to be a part of NPORA.

 

I would post some pics, but you've all seen a stock 98 SE I'm sure. Besides, I don't have any :tongue:

Still time to sign up for the noreaster! Come up to PA and change your color from white to dirt.

 

I drive down to Baltimore several times a year... it's not THAT far :itsallgood:

 

Welcome!

Okay, okay... I snapped a quick pic. There she is in all her glory.

 

If you look close you can notice the mis-match rear door windows (the tints are different) from a "break-in" not too long ago. Funny thing is the passenger side is the opposite - from another break-in, of course. This was all before I owned it, not that it really matters.

 

I've had it just about a week now. I gave the interior a thorough cleaning and the exterior a quick wash yesterday. It desperately needs some clay bar and cleaning wax attention soon. Just today I replaced a section of wiper fluid hose (had a leak) and dropped in a K&N panel filter. As I mentioned before, the rear control arms will get addressed soon - that death wobble has got to go.

 

Would love to attend Nor'easter '07, but I won't be able to. I think by next year I'll have in her in good enough shape to attend. I've been wanting to get into off-roading for a while now.

 

Thanks to all those who have responded so far. :aok:

hahaha... I guess you're right

 

hahaha he said 98 is older. :D :D :D

 

:blush: Well, not as "old" as yours. I do have more miles on mine though! And believe me, for a '98, it's really rough around the edges.

BTW, exactly how many miles are on your 98?

 

Only 135k :aok:

 

 

Just got all the rear lateral bars replaced yesterday ... the death wobble is no more!
