I had the amber Recon badges. Only had them for a month, but I loved them suckers. Only for a month, as that's when I sold my truck for the Heritage. Loved the Heritage badges too much to change them. Sold them to another member on here. Tomasulo is his name.

Yeah, that looks great. I painted the chrome trim on my grill oval white but left the blue. I haven't messed with the back. I was afraid of breaking it.

What rims and tires are those? I am looking at some to put on my truck. Still running good old stock.....

I cleaned under the hood some more... The previous owner didn't take care of this truck at all. But it is my first vehicle I bought on my own so I can't be perfect and was cheaper. (Still on high school)








Took all the plastics off I could and cleaned them over and over.

Also how would people recommend getting this to loosed? I have soaked it in WD40 for a couple of hours and won/t come loose. I don't want to strip the bolt. I want to get the battery out to clean under it and around it. How would I get this off also to clean under it.






It is really dirty/muddy behind this....

It's getting there slowly. Still has lots of work to do. I want to slowly pull/move wires so I can clean the engine a little better. Is there a write up on ways to paint the plastics? or just go for it?

This was under the air filter/Radiator cover thing/ below the starter solenoid.



Looks cleaner than it was....already cleaned around it a little..




Was in a mud bath?




Was a fast mud bath...




Lived on gravel for 142K of its life.. slowly cleaning it.
