Out of curiosity...

Where would a person find a "Massy Ferguson recovery vehicle" sticker for the back window anyhow?

Brian.

Painted my grill and front bumper cover with SEM trim black (

), can't recommend this stuff enough. I did my wheel arches with Duplicolor trim and bumper coating and it looks much worse than this SEM stuff.

Changed the engine oil with the rosellas t4 and new filter, greased everything, and did the power steering flush. No whine and my wife even said it seems to turn easier and quieter. Took it out to do some figure eight's and it turns like a dream. That was a damn good sticky. Then I put a new eagle one air bomb in her and got her smelling like "titanium ice." Also replaced the t10 wedge bulbs up front with the led ones and they look sweet as hell at night with just the parking lights on and match the high wattage hella's I recently installed. Yea I know they aren't dot approved but hell I get blinded by newer cars anyways and I don't see how theirs are.

Put in led headlight bulbs. Replace the connector for one of the marker lights that was all green and not working. And found out that flex tube thing that connects the air box to the fender has seen better days. It ripped in half. Oops

Go to Lowes in the window section and buy the window tape flashing. Almost the same width... super sticky on one side and flexible. Wrap it as best as you can overlapping 1" with the sides barely catching the plastic ends. It works and is cheap. And you can repeat the process if it ever comes undone.

Made a cubby to sit under the fridge and added a fridge slide. Calling this the leaning box of beer. Carpentry skills ain't up to snuff

Also added some extra long grab handles to both sides of the rear. Good for mounting or hanging things

Installed the Terrafirma castor corrected radius arms
Next up: TF bumper and headlights conversion

Installed new-larger battery in the 01. Gone is the 660CCA...hello monster 1140CCA. Replaced ground wire to engine, now connects to motor mount bolt...which is a much larger, too. Changed over battery terminals to stud type, much easier for adding accessories. I believe this battery will be beneficial when the winch gets installed...someday.
