Not today but yesterday I took it out and conditioned the leather, cleaned the interior plastics and gave it a quick wax with some spray detailer. I hate waxing it or cleaning it because you can see all the rock chips that look like snow flakes, not to mention the gouging scratch in the front bumper that the privious owner poorly coved up with touch up pain, along with other little imperfections lol. Anyway after getting it all pretty I took it on a little cruise only to realize I should change my oil since its been 3 months but only 850 miles

is that your everyday driver only putting 850 on in 3 months? lol

.. well now it looks like I have a project for tomorrow of getting that bolt drilled out.

I'm giving the engine bay a little attention since it hasn't gotten any all year. Some new paint and a good cleaning. I might work on the FWI a little too.

You're farther ahead than me in that area then, my engine bay has had zero attettion since I bought it besides a light cleaning

I know the stick on ones show it lol, I will probably end up getting the in channels when i do spring for em, I ordered a few goodies for the truck last night since I'll be working on fixing the FORD blackout odometer soon.
