All three months of summer? haha
So I had not washed the Expy in over a month, it had some bugs, road grime and little mud and brake dust that these wheels hide so well! So i grabbed the bucket and gave it a quick wash. it needs a full detail and waxing here soon...thinking this weekend.

Well, a little over 4 years later i have rolled 40,000 miles since buying it.
I need to go through the spark plugs again as i know i have a loose one and i need to catch it before it blows...its one of the rear ones and a real pain to get to.
she deserves a good detailing so this weekend thats in the plans!

I was able to get to it today, the 2 rear most plugs on the drivers side were finger tight and ready to go any second. Very glad i got to them today. Truck sounds SOOO much better now!!
Interior got a quick trash pickup and wipe down. Exterior needs a real good cleaning before winter as its a mess.

Well I gave her a nice wash job today before putting the Blizzak snow tires on for winter. Still cleans up really well for being 16 years old with 104,775 miles on her.

Just filled her up for less then $80 with the low fuel light on. Now sitting at 106,320 miles.
In the next few months i'm going to go through the front end, new upper/lower ball joints, tie rods, idler arm and an alignment. Far as i can tell the front end is all stock and its getting kinda loose.
it was filthy brown so i gave the old girl a bath also.
