    Finished replacing the head gaskets and every other gasket, timing belt, water pump, new starter, new cam and crank sensors, fan clutch, champion radiator, URD 2.1” pulley and TRD headers. Convinced my best friend to grab 3rd gen too. My addicted offroad bumper finally came in, hopefully will be going on within the next 2 weeks, still waiting on the back bumper however. But to celebrate it all I took her off roading with the boys at The Cliffs Insane Terrain, it was an absolute blast and I can definitely feel a huge upgrade in performance after the rebuild.

    Went to the farmer’s market for fresh vegetables... One reason I like my 3rd Gen so much now is it makes everyone else’s vehicle look like a piece of crap....:crapstorm:

    Thats why i decided against historic tags,
    I like to travel around to much,and there's hardly any insurance savings in MD.
    Only thing good i see is no rip off emission check

    Check out Arclite movie theater I polished the concrete?

    OMG that reminds me. The workers put cardboard over it and used tape to secure in to the floor. The tape adhesive ate through the stain and ruined the entire floor we had to remove all of it and restain polish the whole thing a second time...
