My slow small build

yeah. i have not washed it since like october or something. i feel kinda bad about it and like i am treating her bad. last spring/summer fall when i got it i washed it like twice a week.

when it’s cold i go down to moms work(fish hatchery) i can pull it inside and use steaming hot water and everything. I’m going up by buffalo in 2 weeks and when i leave will probably hit up a car wash that will also wash the under side of the truck, and than wash the under side agin when i get back.

 

Any good shot showing the tires? Side views?

 

no i can’t seam to find any. i can take a few tomorrow, it’s raining here and a little to dark out they wont come out good.

 

Washed, Waxed, vacuumed and cleaned the hole inside today/evening. still need to do the wheels and tires, but i had to stop i could not wait any longer for food.


also did this today... no more plastic dividers/cubbies. gained quite a bit more room. idk how road noise will be or if i’ll i have anything rattling.(that will probably depend on how much stuff is back there and what all it is) road noise is not a problem for me, I have my music kinda load any ways and don’t hear most stuff. like my hitch and other things.

 

How many tabs did you break ?

 

Surprisingly NONE on the storage stuff. I broke just one tab on the one of the trim pieces that covers the bolds for the seat back, but it still snaps on and holds good.

 

Did you take the rear seats out ?

 

Yeah i took just the seat back off. I could not pop all the tabs loose with the seat back in place. it was easy once i got those little trim covers off, they where kinda hard to get off without really braking them. Thats why i broke one of the small tabs on one of them.

Each part that folds down has only 2 bolts and they are loose. the passenger side wont come all the way out with out unbolting the middle/hump seat belt but it moves out of the way enough.

edit: added another pic.

 

I got my cubbies out without taking anything else off but I broke a tab on the bottom of the passenger side one

 

oh, I prob could have but i did not want to risk braking anything. It was pretty easy and fast to just take the seat backs off and move them out of the way. The front/but part of the seat folds forward and into the floor board area and out of the way I did not not take them off, just the backrest part. My guess is if you would have done the same you would not have broke any tabs.

 

So you just took off the hard plastic seat backs ?

 

no the plastic on the back of the seats stayed. There is a cover pice on each end(you can see in 1st pic where the 2 sections of seat meet you can see the one bolt. the one you can see the little square trim that covers the bolts..) I just unbolted them took the trays/cubbies out and bolted the seats back in place.

 

K , thanks

Maybe I'll remove that to make the reinstall easier

 

no problem any time! If you want i can go take a few more pic?

 

I’ll probably be going when i get back from NY.

 

No , that's fine

I'll have a look in the morning , pretty sure I know what you mean

 

yeah. on both ends there is a little square that pops off and under them are the bolts. supper easy, i used a small flat head screw driver to pry them off.

 

Well got my radio working agin. found out last week the radio was not working. I have just been listening to my ipod. pulled it out today and the antenna plug was undone and kinda fell back behind everything. Plugged it in and put it all back together. oil change tomorrow(well today) than may start packing stuff for my trip. Leaving saturday around 3 or 4pm and driving 653miles to western NY, which is going to suck i’m doing the drive by my self, 12H or so maybe a little longer. May go to Canada if my passport comes in this week.

 

I took the rear plastic out also. Free'd up a lot more space. I haven't had any issues with road noise as like you my music is always on. I was thinking about making some molle type mounts back there to attach bags to organize it all; but haven't got around to it.

 

nice. i saw some post a bout it lost year and never really thought much about it. but i got to thinking agin and just did it. and yeah i was thinking about getting some small tool like bag at lows or i saw some at a wal mart and keep extra stuff in like my WD-40 and some other small tools and tape. Maybe some extra fuses and light bulbs. Got another mod for back there that i don’t want to talk about to much.(i don’t even know if it will work)
