    Worked on mine and my sons Honda 70’s. Pulled the motor out of mine pulled the engine covers off and painted them. Painted some small odds and ends like the shifter and touched up the frame. And then cleaned and re arranged my building

Then we went and pushed in the track through some snow that was at the limit of the Taco's ability, with tires at 12 psi ,to scope out a whitewater run that's very short lived during spring melt.

    Wash/clay/polish on the taco today.....debating on what to use as a top coat. The one step that I used has enough sealant in it to last until I make a decision tho.

    Odds & ends - cleaned out the dog legs, cleaned the drains and compartment on Pace Edwards Full Metal JackRabbit, cleaned motor and hood, cleaned the cabin air filter and dropped the fan to remove acorns, cleaned the air cleaner, lubed locks and hinges, cleaned WeatherTec floor Matt, tried a bunch of different plastic restorer kits on the trim - so far all washed off as soon as it rained, polished and sealed the windshield and changed wiper, reset the clock for DLST .

    Sadly, not much.
    I have done the spark plugs, oil/filter change, rear/front dif oil, transfer case oils, At The Helm Bed stiffeners, new battery, greased zerk fittings, and like 4 washes. I am losing my mind!

    Need to reseal the camper, and maybe re-stain my drawer system.

    I finished this project and I'm stoked. I did the ol' tape down the middle trick to show the before and after on the passenger seat (which was cleaner than the drivers seat).

    [​IMG]

    All told, I've got about 5 hours into just the front seats. It was well worth the time investment though.

    Here is a "before" picture:

    I also repainted any interior pieces that were scratched/chipped while I had everything apart. The one big item I'm not finished with yet is the center console, which I'm going to strip down to bare plastic and completely refinish since it was pretty worn.

    I still have plans to have the seats reupholstered at some point in the future, but for now they are much better.

    It's just a Turbo. The previous owner installed the GT2 sill plates. I'd remove them, but they're too damn expensive. I'm going get a sticker to cover the GT2.

    Today’s project. New grips. New gas tank vent. Cleaned the tank out because the main jet in the carb keeps getting stopped up with trash. Ordered a reman carb and replaced it as well. Painted the cylinder with a brush and engine paint. And replaced a few leaking
    O rings. Now just need wheels and tires and The oem fuel lines and clamps and I’ll be happy

    Bunch of stuff
    Kids can’t go to the park so I’m bringing the park to the kids

    Went and bought a bunch of pressure treated lumber today and started working on a play set. Got the main part of the structure built today for the most part. Tomorrow I will work on the swing structure, ladder, rock climbing wall, and slide.

    Decided to take the GX instead of the Taco to Home Depot to grab the lumber on the full length Prinsu rack hahaha. Was kinda sketchy. But made it home without any problems.

    My little guy was so excited to help out

    Thank you. There is not a tiny battery. I'm not sure what you're looking at otherwise I'd tell you what it is.
