Took my 93 out to tahuya today for its maiden voyage offroad. Ran all of south loop then managed to get stuck just south of the rock garden in a nice big mud hole. Ran myself too deep into the ruts and ended up stuck on the axles. Tried everything possible to get myself out but just got stuck worse hah. Ended up walking up the trail aways past the rock garden and found a family riding around in an expedition, they helped pull me out. Had to pull my rig out by the sway bar, couldn't find a tow hook in all the mud. All in all it was an awesome day of wheeling

Extremely simple! I pulled the 15mm bolt out of the motor mount bracket, and used a torx 60 bit and a wrench. The dowel pin came out from the top with the use of some wire cutters! I was worried after reading peoples write ups about it, but it took me maybe 10 mins all together!

Welded up the holes in the rear quarters where the bumper caps were mounted.
Put my spare tire back on the roof rack.
Rotated my tires.
Put the gay chrome centers that came with my wheels on to see if I like them.
Changed the oil.
Toped off the fluids.
Cleaned it out and organized my tools, recover stuff, ect.
And most importantly, found and fixed several interior rattles.
