How bad was the 30 year old oil?

It was pretty bad. Hopefully it require less cat litter in the garage the next time I do it.

Rugged - what products did you use? Did you use a polished or by hand?

 

[Smob]

Truck is in for frame sandblasting, rust treatment and Waxoyl w/Dean at Independent.. All I'm doing is paying..

 

[Ruggedalaskaman]

Boston Dave. I know there are a lot of product recommendations for Defenders, but I have had great results with the Meguiar's Deep Crystal? Carnauba Wax.

Finally on the road

What a great weekend . . . oil changed, VDO gauges installed, window tint removed (finger tips loved it), ready to roll. Also over the past month replaced the the power steering system, water pump, timing belt, starter, and new Odyssey battery.

Next up, fabricate up a rear swing away spare tire carrier, with a drop tailgate.

Long term: Roamerdrive, lockers, cage.

And more pics in places other than my driveway! There are too many trails around here that need some exploring.

I like your truck...

Pedro, looks great!!

I am 50/50 on taking the "90" door stickers off. But I may do a soft top conversion, then I could just run half-doors and not have to worry about it.

What suspension and tires do you have? I'm running 235/85 on Medium Duty TF

I'm concerned that if I run 255/85 the truck will not move that great.

Also, who's the manufacturer of your bumper corners? They look different from mine.

 

[javelinadave]

Installed new front pads, replaced the warning light block and installed a VDO electric speedo.
I also snapped off a brass extender for my oil pressure sender but an easy out made quick work removing the broken bit.

Did you have your VDO dealer input the milage or are you able to do this yourself? I want to order, but I would want to get as close to actual milage as possible...

You can't do it yourself. I sent it to a VDO service center for them to do it. Check out the post I made in another thread for an answer to your question.

Those are terrafirma supplied in the picture. Who makes them?
