I was thinking plain ole m998 . Mine rides very comfortable but we do not have rocks or hills for that matter in the southern part of the banana republic for me to get crazy with.
I have a winch on the front and a Tire carrier in the back and i do I feel some of the weight is leveled out.
Welcome to the madness!
Your local NAPA or a real parts store can help with the dye locally as it might save you a few shipping $ and time They also make a coolant and transmission version.
I always like to gunk and degrease a new to me vehichle so it is easier to find "fresh" leaks. Sometimes...
I don't think any mk105 have been released into the wild. Very few m796 have been surplused in the last few years. They could probably get m1061's.
600g Fuel pods come up semi regularly.
What model of truck?
This might be what you are looking for that I posted:

If the truck had been idled more than ran, the oil gets "sooty" and feels thinner. Very common for diesel engines. The oil level on the dipstick would help determine if Diesel is getting in there as it should be past full if so.
Is your oil filter adapter leaking or was it removed from the Engine?
I think you have the right idea. My original 2 man had only one aluminum "stock" reinforcement and the rest had been home made out of steel stock with holes drilled. Might be way cheaper than $6.20 each and no reason to need the beveled edges.
Rick Larson used to carry the number decals/stickers so you could refresh the numbers on old plates. Can't say I have see anyone making repro but yes, it would work just fine out of another material. They are relatively thin and typically hold 2 or 3 numbers per side.
To determine if you have a matched set. Look at the mfg code of the production normally after the part numbers. For example gates will have numbers/letters. I have seen some brands having the same numbers others having sequential that tells you the 2 pieces were cut side by side from the same...
I had a few questions as you peaked my curiosity?
How much was the kit? You can pm or text me if needed.
Are these the same light bars as Ibis Tek? Are they Led or halogen?
Can the spotlights be remotely controlled as far as aiming them?
What is the amp draw for all of this?
