Everything looks great!! Nice results on all the cleaning

The rust is bad but no way to prevent that unless you don't drive it and that's no fun!

Now for the wing! Unless it's fine as is .....

Question ? What are the yellow and blue lug studs for ?

Maybe it for indexing the wheels for extra power like indexing spark plugs hahaha

Maybe???

C8 General Discussion - Blue and green dot on wheel studs? - This is probably a stupid question, but I was changing out my wheels and noticed that at every wheel, there was one stud that had a green dot and another with a blue dot. What do these signify, if anything?

Ahhh yes! A picture is worth a thousand words lol

That is super clean and looks excellent!! Certainly doesn't look like a 22 year old engine bay!

You're the detail guy for sure!

Since my daily is only a couple years old and I wipe the engine bay down every other month would the plastic treatment be enough to spruce it up? I don't really find anything icky under there so I'm thinking I may not need super clean - thoughts

I like the looks of that Dakota i think I would buy one

Really turned out and I would say looks better than when I bought it .

They no longer make the Dakota from what I heard a few years ago You can buy them at a pretty cheap price used .. they need to be checked out for common gremlins that have been over the decades .. many have a ton of miles and finding one that has reasonable mileage and especially a decent price is a must . Like I mentioned some wear in the anals of the VTCOA threads on what it took me to find a great deal . But hey for a better work truck I made out like a bandit with very few problems over the years ..

i have to admit ive been subscribed to this YT'er for a while now. Even being in Alaska is a challenge having one of these trucks.

Took my daily to the car wash today then spent two hours making her shine! I use Aero Wash/Wax that I've had since I bought the car. Engine bay looks super fine and it's good to go for a couple more months. I'm the only one at the drying bays that does under under hood but it stays nice that way!

I think we're all on the cusp of a SRT-10 Resurgence in the near future. Just my hunch.
BTW, do you have any options for the VIPER insignia for the front calipers ???
