FLA Rover hit the nail on the head. I have come to love working on my truck. I bet I tied up 15 hrs wrenching on mine this weekend! And I still need to change an oil cooler line, drop the pan, swap the sunroofs out and wire some lights! It has been a great truck and only stranded me once when it blew up the black expansion tank like I was warned it would do. Add the white expansion tank to your list of repairs if you have the black one. These trucks can/will consume you, especially if you get into wheeling!

 

Get in there soon and check under the padding. Where the're moisture there's rust and the padding is your enemy.

 

I really appreciate all of the feedback you all have given me! I don't know why, but I'm attached to this vehicle already.

 

I cut my padding out this morning. It was SOAKED! No rust yet and I am clueless as to where the water is coming from. It is wet back toward the seat base and bone dry up at the firewall.

 

Same with me. Wet in the same place. No indication of where the water is getting in at. I'll keep seaching and let you know if I find anything.

 

I had mine parked during a rain storm and when I backed up to move it water from the rear sunroof drain pan poured out of the rear switch and light above the rear seat. I caulked the rear shut. Applied the caulk between glass and trim and water still getting in. That's my project during works winter shut down.

 

The water usually doesn't come from between the glass and the seal. It comes from under the black trim on the roof and the sheet metal. I just replaced my rear. I ran a thin layer of black RTV around the underside of the black outer trim. Hopefully does the trick. New one actually opens and closes. Just need to finish the front one now.

 

Gonna hit that with caulk next. Rainy season about over and come November I should have accumulated everything I need to get them operating. Much more comfortable to ride a day or two without the insulating properties of headliner in winter than summer...

 

Dried out the interior and sealed the area between the roof and the black trim before a big rainstorm we had last night. No moisture this morning in the vehicle at all. Replaced fuel pump. Pretty easy fix. Now moving on to checking out the suspension a little more closely. Moderate vibration at around 60 mph.
