Put the emergency break back together properly or the truck will roll down the hill.
Your factory brush bar will rust.
Your truck will sag, creak and rumble over every bump until you redo the bushings, shocks and springs.
Everything will leak helping the deterioration of the bushings.
Your parking space will be stained in a variety of places and of different hue liquids.

Your truck will overheat and you will try everything realizing later in most likelihood that it's the radiator which Sava or someone else already told you it was. You'll recore or rod or bathe and the truck will run great and never overheat.

You'll consult the board here, make a new friend, sympathize with others, **** somebody off, read a Jake rebuild thread for an hour and realize that if you just did what you were supposed to and maintained your vehicle properly you would have saved a ton of money and time.

You'll get through 80% of Mike's list and then dread for fear of Miketribution on every post you make after that on the 20% you didn't do.

You'll figure out the best sources for information and weed through the criminals to find your guy to source parts. Don't believe the hype yo. You'll get some help from generous friends who have matching parts in their garages.
Your garage will fill up with truck stuff...parts consisting of probably a headliner, tons of internal plastic, fog lamps, running boards, rugs, some parts you mistakenly purchased but didn't send back, liquids, new tools, J&B Quick and a snake oil or two.

Your computer will fill up from millions of photos of every inch of your truck, videos of your tick, the wrong RAVE versions, pics of the truck you wish was yours and a picture of babes in the mud with a LR.
