also, where do you guys tap into for switched on power? i have an aux fuse panel wired up for always-on but i'm having trouble finding something that is only on when the key is on.

I like some of Rock Ware's stuff. Might order me a couple of those diff guards, and have a muffler shop that did the exhaust weld 'em up.

Long!? It may be low but 100" is a pretty short wheelbase. Rear overhang is long but discos are pretty short

I was contemplating reusing the headlight squirters on the new bumper.
Not sure if it's worth the headache yet.


If I don't use them, they're yours for the taking.
I also have that access panel by the tail lights for you.
Doesn't work with the jump seat.


When are you fixing my CDL shifter? haha

Made a trip to one of the local junkyards in Houston this week. The only one I could find with a D1. $35 just for the turn signal lens (not to mention about 15 in gas to get there). But I got it. There was also a D2 with ladder and brush guard that I asked about but he said he couldn't part it out yet. Don't think I want to pay his price for it anyways. He wanted 450 for a bumper for my buddies truck! Anyways, I got the parts I need. Now hopefully next weekend I can get the exhaust fixed and put the new lens in. Then back to keeping the drive train held together with gum and gorilla glue!

I cleaned the MAF with MAF cleaner and the IACV with carb cleaner. The MAF wasn't dirty at all. The IACV was a different animal! It was pretty gunked up with black junk. Put it back together and it is noticeably much smoother at idle.
