    washed, washed again, washed one more time
    cleaned and refinished all cladding
    cleaned inside
    removed all stickers
    removed all badges
    cleaned EGR took care of check engine light
    changed oil
    fixed cruise control
    installed aux input on the radio
    installed new front speakers
    fixed all paint chips
    tinted windows
    smoked corner lights
    clear bra on hood up front
    sanded an painted windshield wiper arms
    polished head lights.....4 times but they look new, and screw the guy that designed how they are mounted.
    all weather hexomat flooring, I'll start a new post for this soon with pics but i custom ordered a large piece and am doing the whole back half of the vehicle with one piece from the front of the front seats to the back will be one piece and the hexomat floor mats up front.

    left to be done is the lift (shock and springs), wheels and tires, and repack wheel barrings

    Well done previper !

    All that done you almost ready to do with the horse waht you got it for ...... Have fun

    I wonder what did you use to repaint the wiper arms since mines are both messy.

    Thought of paint them in chrome since i got few chrome features around the horse.
    Dakar was just the begining.

    Good job, my VX looked just like yours when I first got her... except you de-ironman-ed yours

    Post some more pics once you're sporting the lift and new wheels

    BTW, the G8 is nice too

    Previper, I checked on the freight and I can have mine shipped to Raleigh fairly cheap. When's your next opening ? j/k love your work ethic. Your GF will come to accept the madness, well maybe not accept but tolerate it.
    So I said to myself, I said "Handee"
    and this voice came back and said..

    Hallowharrie isn't until the end of Oct, plenty of time, but you can bring it either way, there are only a few trails that you couldn't run stock.

    Check out the thread over at planetisuzu. It is at Uhwarrie National Forest. Not too far from you. I drive up from Charleston,SC and there will be at least 2 other VXs besides mine. Let me know if you have questions. The thread below should explain just about everything.
