New Girl on the block

Finally... Pictures for you all.... I've named her Velvet (yes I name my cars). The body pictures are after a fresh wash, polish and wax using Turtle Wax "Black Box". I don't use a buffer, so this was hand done. I have to say I do like the results, even after being a diehard Meguiar's girl for years (although I did top it off with their quick detail spray). But alas.... this is the first black vehicle I've owned. I'm loving the results!

The last photo is my new plate that came in the mail today. Much classier than the old beat up red one I had on my previous car. :)

Pretty sure people were hoping for pics of you ;)

Very nice job (Wax). I use black box on my Audi; You really need a nice afternoon to do it right. Looks like you had a nice afternoon! :cool:

Edit...apparently I like the word "Nice". I can live with that.

Getting my hands dirty... hmmm... you really have no idea... I do like getting my hands dirty... I built a chicken coop 2 years ago (from scratch), and put up a 3 rail 5 foot fence this year (about 350 feet of fenceline). I change my own oil, do most of my own maintenance, and if there's something I don't know how to do... I figure it out. Being an active duty Marine for 11 years tends to make you somewhat invincible. ;)

Or at least I have a good excuse for getting my hands dirty.

I had a freaking fantastic day. It was about 65 degrees. And thanks to the giant cedar tree blocking out the sun, I had plenty of shade. I think it looks spectacular! Of course I am a little biased :)
 
Welcome...........

Judging by your photos, you look to be still active, either way, thanks for your service and enjoy the world of Toyota 4Runners.

Semper Fi
 
First, thank you for your service to the great country! :thanks:

Second, welcome! :welcome:

Third, I like NuFinish more than wax. Although I still use wax on occasion, but NuFinish is better for me.

Plus, I say you go girl! You do all the things I do (DIY Maintenance). Your runner looks sexyyyyy.

Oh, and you can get a owners manual from a company called Helm. Their bumper is 800-782-4356. A owners manual for my 03 is $15.95 + S&H.

Sweet!!! Thanks for the info on the manual. I think I figured out all the buttons, but it's still good to have one on hand.

Thanks for the compliment on my runner :) I LOVE IT!!!

I'll have to check out NuFinish as well... Thank You!

Yup.. I went to bootcamp in June of 1997... after 8 days of summer vacation after graduation. Parris Island in the heat of summer was not at all fun... especially for a Ginger who burns easy. But I survived, and went on to the stumps for FROC school, then Oki, Cali, Germany, UAE, and Lejeune. :)

Outstanding! I went in summer of 08', Parris Island! Not ginger or burn prone though, but yeah, it was hot none-the-less.

When were you in Oki. I was there basically all of 99'. What base? I was at Camp Kinser.
 
I spent all of '98 in Oki. I started out on Camp Foster then made the move with 12th Marine Regt to Hansen. I had a great time in Okinawa... from what I can remember anyway ;)
