Ok so my Mickey Thompson Classic II's were getting oxidized and all crappy since they're just polished aluminum so I had to fix them. I took some water and a green scotch brite pad to them, and it took out almost all of the imperfections. I also used a Mother's polishing ball after to restore the shine. The holes were in pretty bad shape so on those I used 1000 grit sand paper which got the job done. Overall I'm happy with how they came out. To prevent this from happening again I bought this stuff SharkHide Aluminum Protectant to clear coat the rims. Hopefully this stuff works like they say it does though!

I finished cutting all my steel for my dominator style side steps. Now all I need to do is pick up my welder and piece it all together. Hopefully I will have some pictures posted this week when they are complete.

Just did: new CVs, upper control arms, lower ball joints, all four tie rod ends, sway bar linkage, front brake pads, tranny flush and an alignment. Also earlier this week I did a new EGR valve, PCV, and TPS. She's running better than ever now. Should be ordering shocks, 1" blocks, and cranking the t-bars this week

THE MAN WITH THE PLAN
I spent hours replacing my thermostat and upper radiator hose(hose was crumbling) to try and see if the thermostat was the reason my heater wasnt working. 7hrs and $60 dollars later were still gunna freeze!
