Replaced steering rod/trak rod/steering damper with heavy duty ones.
Replaced horn buttons on the steering wheel.
New Battery

Installed OME 2" Heavy Duty Lift
Installed DBA rotors w/ Akebono Pads
Got some BFG 245/75 r16 All Terrain Tires
Installed SS brake lines and ABS extentions.
Replaced Right rear hub & left front ball joints
Installed 180 degree thermostat.
Repaired exhaust leak at Y pipe.
New windshield wipers
Installed Ipod connection for my single disc Visteon stereo.
Damn, that was a bunch for one year!
