Had 120,000 mile service including all fluids (F/R diffs, TC, tranny flush, coolant), repack front wheel bearings, lube everything, and inspect everything else. Still didn't need the front brakes (rotors and pads) I bought from Merlin last week. She still looks, runs, and feels like new.

I upgraded my bumper tow points with double sleeves, and I went ahead and did moncha's side marker to turning signal upgrade. Took about 10 minutes, of course I have no front plastic....Now if I can just get rid of that quick flash, since I am upgrading to LED turn signals. I refuse to spend 30 bucks on the stupid resistor setup on the internet. I know I saw somehting on here, time to search the threads.

Just did the alarm antenna relocation, took 8 minutes exactly from start to finish. Although I don't have 50 ft range now, I am able to arm/disarm from inside my house. Maybe my remote needs a new battery? I also drilled out the skid plate for the oil filter access, started to do the oil plug, but the hole saw I bought for that was junk. Only made it half way before giving up on me.
That is what I get for getting cheap harbor freight junk. Time to go to lowes and get the Lenox bit. Although it is about 35 bucks for the Lenox, it cuts through aluminum, plastic, steel in a matter of seconds, 6.5" hole saw is still razor sharp after cutting multiple holes. Probably need to get a nice corded drill as well, my Black and Decker smells like it is gonna catch on fire. I have a lot of miles on that drill. So many holes on my VX and my boat and concrete....best 30 bucks on a tool ever.

I haven't cleaned up my VX since Moab. I figured since Pipino is coming to town I might want to have my baby spuced up. I'll be giving my VX the works inside and out.
Peace.
