    Found my fuel leak. Only leaks when I fill up, now I know why Someone drilled thru the floor and into the tank near the filler neck. A 1/4 x 20 screw screwed into the hole tightly, then put some fuel resistant sealant over that. At least I got new gaskets and freshened up the fuel system...

    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.

    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 I think she rescinded that but I couldn't hear her.

    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...

    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...
