adamzan Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 It's not hard to keep your paint nice. As green machine just prooved you don't need to spend a lot on wax. Just avoid armor all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xterra Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Replaced the corner lights and front grille (which was faded and starting to crack) with chrome ones from RockAuto. They look great, but now the bumper looks horrible. I gonna hold off on replacing that, though, until I find a first gen brush guard (the kind that attaches to the fron of the bumper using the bumper bolts) or find a 93-95 chromed bumper in decent shape at a JY.

CDN_S4 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Replaced inner and outer tie rods as well as lower ball joint. Only driver side today. Will do passenger tomorrow. Reduces steering wheel vibration already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CO_pathfinder Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 I mean, the paint on mine has zero factory clear coat left, not to mention the fact that its white so its not exactly a reflective color to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nefarious Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Finally got around to ordering my Superlift upper control arms with bushings. Got em off summit racing. Can't wait to have a fully upgraded ifs setup, this was the last part I needed! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you strip your paint that much doing paint correction that now it's all gone or what happened? You could respray a new clear coat. Imperfections would hardly be visible on white.

Nefarious Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Finally got around to replacing the rear right tail/brake light receptacle. The tail light contact was worn out to the point of not working. Used solder and heat shrink to attach the one from my parts truck. Gotta love free fixes!

Mine is white and when you look down the side of it you can see your reflection in it. Sounds like you need to buff and wax your truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenMachine96 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Lubricated all door hinges. No more squeaks. Also picked a Reese 3 trailor hitch with 2 hitch balls for $60 on craigslist. Installing tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushnut Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 new NGK plug wires, rotor and cap... the old ones were still stock:( . went for a test ride and I could actually tell the difference. Tomorrow, front brake pads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDN_S4 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 New spark plugs too? Do the wires make that much of a difference? Was always wondering if it was worth changing them as long as they seem to work just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nefarious Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 You won't know if the wires are working fine or not, unless they are really bad. You can test your ignition wires as per fsm. There is a spec in there. I don't remember exactly but it was around 1 or 2 K ohm per foot of length. It's in there somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCAR50 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Drove mine to work and back as I do every day...paved both ways unfortunately .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedPath88 Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I mean, the paint on mine has zero factory clear coat left, not to mention the fact that its white so its not exactly a reflective color to begin with. Sorry but I gotta call BS on that, because unless you sanded/stripped it, there is no way that "all" of the clear coat is gone, without... at the minimum... serious damage to the white underneath it. My clear coat is in sorry shape, but it's not even close to all being gone. Most but not all of the hood, then the tops of the fenders, panel below windshield, top portions of the rear fender budges' all have patches of no clear coat or spotted areas.. but most of it is there and the red will be gone in spots long before the rest of the clear is gone.

CO_pathfinder Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 (edited) Did you strip your paint that much doing paint correction that now it's all gone or what happened? You could respray a new clear coat. Imperfections would hardly be visible on white. There were a lot of those little rust spots forming on it when I bought it, and in the process of removing them, most of the clear coat was removed. Only the rear quarters still shine w/o heavy waxing Edited March 26, 2015 by CO_pathfinder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedPath88 Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 No, I didn't... this is the internet with text not tone, I took it for what you offered When you say "zero" and give no indication otherwise, it is taken as such. If it's not zero, don't say that it is or add "something" that gives a clue otherwise. And yes I added the bold, italicize & underline but that was to emphasize, within the quote, exactly what I was calling BS on.. or in otherwords I gave an indication as to what I was referring and how I meant it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piscator Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I didn't do it today but I added a Harbor Freight onboard Battery Charger to my '95. I don't drive it enough and this will charge and trickle charge so its ready to go when I am. http://www.harborfreight.com/15-amp-three-stage-onboard-battery-charger-maintainer-99857.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
