Today I finished my dash project. I had a wicked curling dash that had even popped the "repair kit". Thinking I couldn't make it look worse...I cut the old foam out, it mostly crumbled away and them fabbed a 1/16" Checkerplate cover for the dash. Painted it matte black and screwed it on. I'm pretty happy with it.

truck wouldnt turn over when i left work, first thing i checked was fuel pressure and i had none... checked the fuel pump fuse, that was good. flipped up the carpet and man-forced up the cover to the fuel pump bc i had no tools. someone had been in there before, only two screws were holding it on and the pump did not look original. unplugged and plugged back in the electrical connector for the fuel pump, BAM fuel pump works again.
i swapped out one of my rear jump seats with a buddy last night, so i got home, and mounted my CO2 tank in that spot today. also replaced one of the exhaust hangars so my magnaflow isnt floating under the center of the truck, and greased the rear driveshaft and ujoint at the tcase end.

How did you mount the tank bracket?
I'll be doing the same on the driver side obviously.

The counter sunk screws would be good idea for sure. The problem I had was it was only 1/16" plate to not much to counter sink into and I needed bolts if I had any hope of getting a tool on them. I suppose if I took the windshield out....
Thanks for the kind words.

changed the oil in both diffs and the tcase. when i unscrewed the rear diff drain plug oil exploded out like it was under pressure.. maybe the breather is clogged? idk, i didnt check. oil came out the front diff normally. when i drained my tcase the fluid came out red, so either someone filled it with tranny fluid bc they were misinformed, or the seal between the tcase and trans is bad... i'm hoping that is not that case as i never noticed anything out of place on the dipstick.
