Thx for the welcome! She is beastly. Bit of rust here and there. will need a few welded patches. Yes, Freddy Meatballs on GOG, AKA Pickle Rick, AKA XRAD....

GEMS block, Bosch intake, 04 trans and CDL, low end cam, and a bunch of other things. Working on a protoboard to get the rear roof rack lights to come on with a touch of dash button or via reverse gear by adding another OEM accessory rear light switch and a latching relay...of course, all of these switches are neg ground to trigger so have to use this configuration.....

Also designed some new 3D print license plate light mounts for 3w LEDs. will post pics.....
see thingiverse for more detail:
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3401700

Also, have an aftermarket NAV unit/back-up cam and x1 other cam for install in nicer weather......

and the O2 sensors are practically welded to the exhaust (have the check engine light on giving L/R rich-lean codes) so to make it easier, might have to get some free flow cats and just replace everything.....

and the 'good times' list goes on.....

For those of you who want to update your license plate lighting, 3W eagle eye LED's in an ABS housing. I put a 3D print on thingiverse with instructions:

THX! Had a perfect windshield without one chip or scratch until today. Now a 1/2" rock chip! sucks. Just below driver vision area. Designed some license plate light housings for 3w LEDs, link in above post #5:

Hell yes! Wish mine looked like that. What lift, tire size, and front bumper you got there?

33's, 4" lift, Terrafirma front bumper. Have the corrected radius arms but only to 3 degree ready to install. Some rebuilt OEM calipers, new rotors, and ceramic pads also waiting on a nice day. Still, will be better than the boatlike driving experience. Boat-like makes sense because of all the leaks! Front and rear sunroof and rusted through passenger foot-well!
