The Dude Abides

Remember This.

This.

Started it, needs a new alt bad. I dont think ill drive it very far.

Its been a long spring, summer, and fall. I kind of figured since the Iowa boys havent gotten together this spring, summer, fall, winter at the same time I would try to have a get to gather. It can be at a restaurant or my place if you wish. Its welcome to pretty much anyone who wants to make the trip. Its getting into the holiday season so i know peoples time is getting filled up. Let me know what you boys think. Ben

Since its zap i have a feeling they will be done up right.

I hardly drive the car anymore but if i do this i think ill do the maxima upgrade. Though i cant find them on RockAuto cheep anymore.

I think i know the problem anyways but i figured id ask since ihavent really been on here in months. While driveing last night i noticed the higher the rpms got the brighter all the lights got. When the rpms went down as i shifted they dimmed. Pretty sure that would be the voltage regulator in the alternator right. 88DL Fuel Injected

So if these are your new wheels, whats going on with yoru brat now a days. 13inch wheels dont make much for mudders.

I have heard this. But i have a DL so i have sealed beam units. Mine lasted 5 years.

Replaced the Burnt Out Sylvania Silverstars with Sylvania Extravison or something like that. Tried to get the check engine light to work but its a no go. So if i want to see what codes its throwing i need to have the computer scanned.

Youve seen my car before tom but we have basically the same 2inch lift. Mine are old mud terrains though but you get the idea. 27 - 8 1/2 - 14. Minimal cutting. You should be ok with what youve done already.

Just thought a thread about kids, pets, wifes, other loved ones could go somewhere. I dont think most of you have seen pictures of my kids since they were born. For what they are. Oldest is 5, Twins are 3

Im going to lift the front end of my car 1 more inch to level it out and get some of the extreme angle off the front cv shafts. Im curious if anyone has done this with 1 piece of 1inch square tubeing and if so how long does it need to be. Also how far apart are the bolt holes from eachother so i can tell the machine shop what to do.

It took FOREVER for me to get that door for you.

Yea thats my oldest daughter. She didnt like the SVX but i told her it was cool. On a side note, i dont guide her in her picture takeing poses. Thats all her.

Thanks for Inviting us. Here are some pictures. SVX With Attitude. Like most this guy is saying. What the hell is that. I encapsulated the rust so that is where the black spots come from. As you can see, there is alot of rust.

To bring up an old thread. How important is it to drain those block plugs if your flushing the coolant.

http://desmoines.craigslist.org/rvs/1949171100.html Just get this and be done sire.

Im an idiot i thought it was this weekend of the 11th but its next weekend of the 18th. So what your saying is that you guys should be able to go now.

Just so you know i am reminding you again. My car is pretty ugly. Might not mesh with all the imprezas there. Brent you going or are you going to be out of town that weekend.

Do you think you could do a subaru window with that. That background would look sweet on mountain grizz.

I cleaned up the battery terminals and put on new ends. The cables are corroded somewhat so they will be replaced one day. But without a battery to put in it its a moot point anyways.

If you want something to look good you need to prep them well. If you dont care then you dont care. I can see you need to do some finish sanding then probally a recoat and clear coat. When i did my rims i spent about an hour per rim sanding the little creases and makeing it fairley flat. Painted 3 coats primer, 3 coats black and i still had 1 rim peal paint after a year. GD is right that sandblast or sodablasting is best but they are only 13inch wheels so it depends on what you want to do with them.

Either that ac is on the porch to be worked on. Or its plugged in aiming at the couch so you can sit outside and enjoy the ac blowing on you. If thats the case you are my new hero.

With all positive comes negatives as well my friend.
