Installed new OME HD Springs on the front as well as some Bilstien 7100 shocks:
Also put in a new Optima Battery and installed a custom wiring harness for all of the AUX electrical (Roof rack lights, rear rack lights, radio, CB radio, aftermarket gauges, rear 12v supply, etc).
Here is a pic of the harness shortly before I installed it:
with the AUX power complete I was able to get the CB and the HID's on the roof rack wired up:

Finally pulled out the fuel pump assembly. What I though was rust on the retaining ring was actually some type of hardened brown sealer. I ended up using a Dremel to cut the retaining ring loose. I had already gotten a new one.
The AEL sensor vent hose was shredded. The steel lines were a rusty mess and the plastic that should have been molded around them was cracked & broken from the rust pushing them out. The rubber seal was in upside down, probably why the sealer was added. There was as kinds of debris in the snap on bottom that contained the pump including sizable parts of those blue shop towels. The wire from the wiper arm of the fuel level sensor was broken. One of the rubber "feet" that hold the pump in place was missing.
I cut the plastic around the lines going into the top off.
I used a wire brush on the Dremel to clean off the fuel lines and coated them with POR15.
I then used epoxy around the area the plastic was in to seal the entry and retina the lines in position.
I cleaned out all of the crap. I'm going to have to drain the tank and check to see what's in there.
I put in a new fuel pump sources from EBay for $20. The pump had obviously been replaced before, but done wrong.
I soldered a new litz wire onto the wiper of the fuel gauge.
I have to consider how I'm going to get the one rubber part that holds the bottom in place. Anyone know if these are available?
