    Drained and filled 6 quarts of tranny fluid, flush the power steering twice with amsoil ATF, flushed the radiator, and drained and filler the brake fluid reservoir. I'm going to wash and wax it tomorrow.

    Yep and expensive. But I honestly think it made my transmission shift 110% smoother. It's like a Lexus now.

    ^I do not agree

    Get the All Pro standard leaf springs! I have them and they are great. A very nice stiff spring with really good flex. They also give you about 3-4" of lift.

    Used one of those headlight restoration kits on the headlights. Both done now, but in the pic, the passenger side has been done, and the driver side has not. Big difference.
