    OK, checking in again. Had to make a delivery recently so I threw the hitch back on the VX and hit the road. (The U-Haul is a 6'x12' enclosed trailer.) The wheels are of course the all too common 18"x8" Borbet CW3 with 265/60-18 Yokohama Geolander ATS's that have since been removed and stored in exchange for the summer 20" Boss wheels seen above.

    Lower quality photo taken with my cell phone so not quite as shiny as before.

    Still super shiny, even with the cel cam. What do you use on that thing? Do you apply by hand or by machine.

    Just picked up a Turtle Wax "Black Box" http://www.turtlewaxblackbox.com/ this past weekend and I'll use it this weekend to get the VX ready for Moab. Can't wait to see how it turns out.

    Still the same process. Clearcoat polish applied with a $25 slow-speed 6" orbital buffer with a soft sponge pad, then hand-applied wax removed with microfiber polishing cloths.

    I'm starting to think I just got lucky awhile back with a great 3M product. The clearcoat polish has always been the part of the process that has made the most difference.

    Checking in.
    Here's mine after a lot of work.



    Bought at 94,000 miles and have only put on 500 miles since finishing all the work.

    What I have done:
    Upper and lower ball joints
    Tie rod ends.
    Wheel seals and bearings
    Removed the front differential and did Axle seals and bearings and filled with synthetic gear oil.
    Dropped the transmission to change the torque converter seal and did the transmission filter and filled with synthetic transmission fluid.

    Pic of the transmission taken out:


    Had to drop the transmission again to change the rear main seal. Stupid to not have changed it when I first had the transmission out.
    Oil Pan Gasket.
    Drained rear differential and filled with synthetic gear oil. Doing this got rid of the gear whine completely.
    OME 913 springs and torsion bar crank.
    Terra Grappler tires with KMC wheels. Loved how Rickshaw's looked.
    Fixed big crack in the hood insert.
    Bunch of other stuff...
