Great job on the maintenance, I've had about the same amount of work to do on other sections of my runner and probably need to do the dreaded timing belt and water pump soon.

Also cool to see where it's at, if you end up running a body lift ever just hit me up for some advice. (everyone else has all the info you need for suspension lifts)
Thanks! I was pretty furious at first but then just happy we got it back, I never expected to see it ever again.

I did some messing around today. When I replaced the steering column I broke the clock spring so had to buy a new one. No pics but now the airbag, horn, and cruise control work and no dash lights.

When it got stolen the bastards took out our double din Kenwood and wired in a crappy ancient old CD player. I was happy they didn't cut the wiring harness, but they hooked up the illumination and fried the dimmer switch.

This was my temporary fix, just jumped the plug to get the dash lights working:



But had enough of that and bought a new dimmer switch off eBay.

Also swapped out all of the dash lights for some white LED's, I like it. What is really weird is that the gas light is on now so going to have to pull the cluster out and figure that one out.





I also haven't clay barred or waxed this thing since it was stolen so gave it a proper cleaning and sealed the paint today.

Really like this stuff, been using it on all our cars lately:



Not too shabby I need to get the front windows tinted badly, hate the mismatched factory tint...someday lol



I also cleaned up my hitch and put a new cap on, my nice hitch cover I had before didn't make it back with the car.




Next project on the list is getting the transmission serviced with a new filter, fluid, and hooking up the cooler. Pretty sure I'm going to do it in line with the transmission cooler since I just replaced the radiator.
