One of our site vendors sells one. I wanted a few more options and had a weekend and a welder (and was unsupervised). Welcome to the madness!

Just took a closer look at ur post and saw that you flopped the dog ears around so they tuck in vice out. If you are planning to add a hard top, that's forward thinking 'cause you'll need the room above the hand hold for the front roof mount.

Did ours a little different. Used some conduit, covered in foam that was for hot water pipes Have since put a camo cover on it to match the seat covers. really not sure which is better for getting in and out, but Her Dad holds on to it for his life when we run without the doors. Outside is...

Welcome to the group! Looks like you already have a good list for projects. I would add some maintenance to the list, change fluids, flush radiator then check for leaks and squeaks. Your list may change based on what you find after spending a few quality hors with your new rig. Welcome to...

Never mind, found it. Thanks

That looks like a nice mod to have. And useful information. Did you do a how to on installing that gage?

Welcome to the Madness 1.)We have an 86 M998 and our gauge is spot on. Check your grounds. 2.)Concur with Action, check your connections near the heater core 3.)Ours acts curious sometimes. I have had to press in and then wiggle the switch (dirty potentiometer maybe). But try that 4.)I...

My Wife thought the exhaust was quieter, then we pulled out of the neighborhood and got above 25. I think she rescinded that but I couldn't hear her.

Thanks for that tip! I hadn't thought of doing that, but on your advice I will

Didn't get to post these yesterday. DWF Intake. Just need to do the CDR and dipsticks. Then silicone the electrical connections per the instructions. BTW when trying to put the fuel tank vent onto the stack gravity yanked the screw outta my hand and put it in a place I aint never getting to...

More fun with the Deep Water Fording kit. Installed the DWF Valve. Then plumbed the lines to their respective homes. The red hose was not in the kit but is required to vent the Power Steering cover. Don't confuse vent connection shown at the bottom of the last pic with the Fuel Vent Line on...

Another nice day here in Northern VA. Got the Deep Water Fording Exhaust on. Had to get two bolts to hold the exhaust pipe to the side of the truck. These were not listed in the instructions. I used the same bolts as the 3 that hold the assy to the muffler. Also had time to plumb the hose...

Welcome to the madness... I mean to the group. I am in Northern VA and not a lot of local places want to work on these old war horses. Most of us do our own maintenance and upgrading (the HOA LOVES me). Strongly recommend getting a copy of the manuals, the parts books and get acquainted to...

My Christmas present showed up today!! My Wife got ahold of my Mom and Kids and they went in together to get my next project/upgrade. Still need the Stack bracket, but we'll see when that shows up. I got the exhaust bracket in place today. Will update as the project progresses

Busy week, had to replace speedo cable Note: pay attention to the manual. INCH POUNDS not foot pounds. Got my rock rails installed Finished moving my backup camera after adding Rhino Tire Carrier. Tire blocked rear view when camera was mounted in the body below the tailgate. Mounting plate...

Welcome Aboard!

Couldn't wait till XMAS Just need to put the tire on. I'll relocate the back up lights (again) later. And I need to move the back up camera since the tire will now block it. But its done and I'm happy.

Fun with Run Flat removal. Did the first one with a come along and then my Father in Law reminded me I had a winch on the truck. And landed here Last pick shows why you keep a safe distance when using power tools to do the hard work. Run Flat jumped 15 feet when it broke free from the tire...

Someone just pointed out that the real test should be using the new tires and comparing the ride with and without the centramatics. Let me see if I can make that happen this week. Comparing the old tires with weights and the new tires with centramatics really isn't a fair shake.

Here is what I can tell from the short ride I did. Previous tire and rim combo on driverside rear has 5 oz of weight on the outer rim none inside. Passenger front had two 2.5 oz weights on the inner and two 2.5 oz weights on the outer rim. 1 Wheel with 10 oz and, 5 oz on the other, the other...
