I washed all the sand out of the rocker panels and took the running boards off. Took them apart cleaned out all the sand painting them now and then back together. But I might leave them off.

Cleaned up the engine bay and put a bit of Fukken Wax on some of the plastics in there. Shiny as new!

Did a test run of the air horns this afternoon. All the dogs in the neighborhood started barking and a few confused looking neighbors came out of their houses to see wtf is a locomotive doing on our street, LOL.
One of them caught me in the act just as I blasted the horns for the second time and gave me a very clear "i wanna kill you" look.

Redneck level +999 LOL. :)
Well, +998 actually because i haven't installed them permanently yet. This was just a test run.

Not today Friday night was the K&N CAI and Saturday was my CB. Still need to do some work on SWR, I think it is just an antenna ground problem.

Cleaned the interior....Discovered dog hair all over behind second row~~~ I don't allow pet in my vehicle for this very reason.... It will need further cleaning but didn't have much time. Other than that interior is in awsome shape!

What is your setup?
You're gonna laugh... the setup is very white trash... all that's missing is the duct tape. :)
I didn't want to spend $300+ on a decent set so I bought a pair of cheap Wolo 402 horns for $30. I ditched the mini-compressor that came in the kit (sounded really squeaky) and i'm using a compressed air can ("gas duster") to power the horns. They sound REALLY good this way.
I modified one of those automatic Airwick spray dispensers I had laying around the house to spray on demand and now I'm trying to find a location where the air can isn't exposed to so much heat that it risks exploding :)


I might end up buying a small paintball air tank (~$25) that I could refill from my tire compressor and install it with a proper solenoid valve (~$30) to power the horns. I really don't want to install a compressor in my truck. It would cost too much money vs the number of times i'd probably sound these horns.

Yeah it sure is I wash it atleast once a week but still rust. :flamingdevil:
But I figure it was bought in michigan and I bought it with this rust atleast most of it. I am fixing some of it. Then I will be getting a new car to drive in summer.
