So, uh, where you going to mount up a license plate and required lighting so its 'legal'?

^^has worse paint than I.

Looks like fun. Welcome. Next upgrade should be to get rid of that Squealers sticker. ;)

Shiny new muffler on today. Got tired of the old one being rusted and noisy and the sound reverberating in the cab so the radio couldn't be heard. Now I can hear all the other squeaks, rattles, and grunts the truck makes... No cat or resonator. Just one big muffler and its quieter than my low mileage LeSabre.

A used set without cracks looks like new with a fresh coat of clear spray enamel on it.

H-body: Bonneville, LeSabre, Olds 88/LSS Heading back from the bank, I smelled coolant and and saw the passenger floormat wet and steaming... This makes the THIRD time the heater core has split, using genuine GM parts. To replace it in the LeSabre, the dash has to be removed to get the core out... the entire dash... which is a $1k job to do at a GM shop. Even the Haynes manual says to take it to a shop for the work to be done. I understand the 91-96 FWD GM C-body cars have a similar dash setup in regards to the heater core (Park Ave, Olds 98, DeVille). Replacing the heater core in the Buick for the 3rd time in 8 years is getting really old really quick. So, who has run into a similiar reoccuring issue? Will aftermarket cores be any better? Side note: none of that orange GM coolant was used in this vehicle, only Prestone antifreeze in appropriate ratio with distilled water.

All I heard after my girls and I first saw this on Familiy Guy was the bird is the word for a week and a half straight. Now I can email it to them and annoy them with it... or maybe it'll backfire and be put back in bird is the word hell for another 10 days.

I put a set of studded 235/75R15s on for the winter.

We got about a 1/4" overnight and its been blowing the existing snow around all day.

I filled her up with good ol' 87, and drove her to Thanksgiving dinner at the gf's father's house.

Great catches! I agree with the above statement. Put that bed panel on a wall and wire up with a blinking tail light.

There's a Comanche County in Texas, Okalahoma, and Kansas. I don't think I'd live in any of them, sorry. There's only one reason to move from PNW to Texas, and that's the economy. I can think of no other reason than the lack of significant amounts of snow during the winter. Indeed. After 28 years in the Dallas metro area, its so much more scenic in this part of the country.

Looking good. Have you tried seeing how it looks with the canopy back on the bed now that the other upgrades have been completed?

I've had several of those :cheers: As have I, but the divorce papers should be final any day now.

Great lookin' MJ. Mine looks like a paint mange mongrel in comparison.

A little clear enamel out of a rattle can on a warm day, and those tail lights will be good as new. Worked great for mine.

Looks like an old Jeep pickup... Its the MJ's great great grandfather. Rob L. It has 1956 blue with yellow lettering Oregon plates on it, I noticed this morning.

Took a trip the local pick-n-pull yesterday, and picked up from a demolished 88 Comanche its blue short bed canopy, its taillights (for spares, should I break the ones on there now), its Mopar bedliner with raised Comanche logo, as well as a few odds-n-ends interior bits. Anybody know what that is across the street? I've only seen it move twice this year under its own power.

Took it for a lovely drive in the drizzle and hit 160000 miles today.

Just one state north of me and I haven't been there. Shameful. Edit: Portland Trailblazers?!? Ewwww!!!

If you can't make fun of yourself...

You know you want to keep it. Just think of how much you'll be kicking your own posterior if you sell it to some young punk that's going to roll it when they stuff it into a ditch the first time they go 4bying in it. Buck up, feel fortunate its only the heater core that went pear shaped- it could have been something truly catastrophic instead.

Took her down to Bend and then Mt Bachelor. Once there, took the back way around the mountains to Three Creeks/Sisters via an atv trail starting at Todd Lake which fords two small streams. To cover 18 miles took 1.5 hours. Very bumpy, rocky, rutted, lots of elevation change, and led a pack of two other vehicles consisting of a late model white Tacoma 4dr and 10 year old emerald green Ranger. They're all 'oh no a rock, lets go all slow and carefully go around it so we don't ding our precious sheetmetal, putt putt putt'... showed them what a 2wd Comanche with pink pinstripes and canopy missing its back glass can do. Rarrr! ;) Whose your 22 yr old vehicular daddy?!?!?! It snowed on the High Cascades peaks last night, got down to 32 at 3500'. A few shaded puddles still had a crust of ice at 1pm.

Today, I put in: - installed a fresh wiper relay - installed intermittent wiper module - replaced the right outside mirror - installed a rear cabin carpet panel below the back window All thanks to the local salvage yard which had freshly acquired Cash 4 Clunkers Cherokees... and one beat to hell Comanche.

Lookin' good on the project. Really coming together. The silver spray treatment on the old dash was a bit much.
