Stripped the bike apart tonight, now I gotta decide what I want to do with it.

51.6K on the clock now. 15 years old from her 2008 build date. Three years since the last report and just a couple of thousand put on her. 360 miles of that yesterday with a trip to Peoria to pick up some fluids from Hoerr Racing. 60/65 mph trip netted 33 mpg. Washed and waxed and a full under hood wipe down then put to bed again. Had her out once earlier this year for a hundred and an oil change. Switched back to Red Line HP from AMSOIL after seeing the internals of Pepper at 175K on that Red Sauce. 😉

Congrats! What mods have you done so far?

 

Well...let's see. I made a prepurchase punch list and so far have this much done:

 

1.) Weather Tech floor matts. Front only. They don't give those away. 

2.) Full PPF nose, A pillars and a foot of roof plus door sills, edges and handle pockets and mirror backs, truck ledge.

3.) Level 2 paint correction and G3Ceramic coating including the PPF

4.) Added camber eccentrics and gave it a good alignment. 

5.) Sylvania H-11 Silverstar Hi/Lo bulbs 

6.) Moved on from Mitsubishi to Red Line Lubricants and Purolator filters

7.) Changed factory preset OLM length from 12,000 miles or 13 months to 3,750 miles or 6 months

8.) Came with LED floods. 

 

Yet to do on my original list

 

A.) Fluid Film (hottest item on my left to do list)

B.) Ceramic IR/UVA/UVB blocking Window Tint

C.) Seat protection covers. Something more Rex friendly. My boy sheds. 

D.) Block and pan heaters / CVT cooler

E.) Canton Pre-lube system

 

The entire original list went/is toward protection/safety. 

 

bric-à-brac:

 

1.) iOttie phone cradle and shielded USB cable

2.) Black bath towel folded up over the E-brake area so Rex has a pillow while he furs up my front seat. :crackup:

My latest addition, imported it from Nevada back in July. 2018 JGC 3.6. Guy went crazy checking the option boxes. Air suspension, pano roof...it can even park itself if I knew or cared how to use that feature. It’s like a slightly more reliable Range Rover. 😂IMG_3393.thumb.jpeg.6490c1afdf798ebc2eb977001cef1e02.jpeg

Right away I did the filters and all driveline fluids with Red Line, spark plugs, coils, oil cooler, serp belt & accessories, PCV valve and motor mounts while it was still warm out. Fresh set of Michelins. Good as new in every way.

Took her out yesterday for her monthly drive. The older I get the more I appreciate shifting gears. It’s a blast.

My wifes ride and my other ride I use on the weekends is 23 Tahoe Z71 with 6.2L and air ride.   Had to make it look kind of like my Trailboss so I used edgymods lift links and set it a little over 1" lift all around.   Then mounted LT275/60/20 Falken AT3W tires on Voss Trailboss replica rims.

 

It is just enough to give it a more rugged look without affecting ride quality.

Going out today for emissions inspection and yearly oil change at the dealership today. I put less than 200 miles on it this year even driving once a month. Still drives and smells new.

    • What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.
    • People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.    
    • Glad you had success with it. I did as well, but about 5-6 months later it returned. Tried again, same result. This was after the dealer made several attempts and never even got it to slow down.
