Mine got caught in a surprise overnight snowstorm, and is now reminding me how much the roof leaks. I have ruled out sunroofs, sunroof drains, alpine glass, and rain gutters (because I just caulked them), yet there is still ingress in the area of the rain gutters. Mostly toward the back. I'm starting to wonder if it's soaking in at the top of the back passenger quarterpanel (to the side of the back door) and being sucked along that seam by capillary action.

Anyway, now it's sitting in the garage with heaters, since I'd like to dry out the interior before it mildews. I'll have to remove my toolbox later so it can dry underneath and not rust-stain the carpet...

I have d2 flares. I popped em off at full articulation. But I fixed that issue. Once I get it trimmed and cleaned up with the dremel I'll glue em back on.

Here they're on

Sounds Great Slang. My roof itself is pretty solid with just a little bit of rust. Around and mostly below has a few holes. I may just drill the holes out totally and go from there. I'll figure something out.

Chris-Bob: Good One, I thought maybe it was just my eyesight was fading or maybe I had drank a wee bit too much. I forgot that wander all over the place, but I do as well.

Turf,
I read there was a big bank heist, but i had no idea..........\/

Looking very good, keep up the improvements.

Bet the new springs an shocks made a huge difference.

Turf, NICE!!! Did you get some retainers or cones for the rear? You will need them or your brand new springs will come shoot out

Here's what I did today.. MORE CUTTING!!!!

and a test fit of the 50MM Flexi Flares from Justin at Lucky 8. They make my 35's look like 31's.. Still need more cutting but going to take my truck out and play in the rocks tomorrow so I figured I should make sure all clears first. Also had to cut bumper and sliders but it all turned out pretty well. Will weld on some end caps eventually.
