Lots of stuff going on but no pics yet.

Everything has been sprayed with bedliner that was going to be. All side windows were tinted.

Shopping for wheels now. I want something with holes like the originals with a black center and a machined edge. Plus its got to be 17". I know its very particular.

Baja bar is on along with Hella lights again. Though the lights are not yet functional. So that makes for rice I guess. Or corn. Not sure.

I recherged the AC and am hoping that will last for a while. It did sit for a over a year so I'm hoping that was the problem and not a fast leak. Luckily it was already 134a as evidently the cars were all switched back in 1995.

Lastly I put air in the tires. Front were down around 15 and backs were at 20. So many things I have yet to check on. Small details.

I need to change the fuel filter really bad and I wanna do a Seafoam treatment soon.

Saw these at NTW. I've always gotten good service from NTW on tires and such in the past (never dealt through the mail with them, just in person at one of their shops, don't know if they still have local stores or not).

Or you could always have the centers of your stock ones powdercoated black.

I like them too. They look better than the other ones I looked at. I like the kind of concave dish that these have.

Well. The price is right. Plus they are 9" which is great. All the others I looked at were 8". I don't want the 33"x12.5"x17" tires looking like balloons.

I'm gonna go up to Discount Tire and give them a chance to beat the price. I wanna give the local boys a shot at it. Economy and all.
