Manifold. It probably isn't cracked. The studs were weak from the factory and stretch causing a leak. Chances are you will break a few trying to remove them so plan your time accordingly.

I remember following your build on TNX, I had an 07 OR that I built up. Now have a 1992 pathy. You'll love wheeling a cheap rig. Looking forward to what you come up with!

How well do those tires stuff? We're going to have to have a shake down run when you get it put together, can't wait to see it in person.

Any info on those flares GrandpaX?

You'd be looking at coilover towers, new tubular style upper and lower control arms just as a start. The stock units would not only not fit the coilover, they are not designed to be run at the more extreme angles a long travel suspension would run at.

Replaced the passenger side exhaust manifold, it's quieter now. Must be a very small leak on the drivers side. Still a light tick until warm.

Wow! That overshadows my update. New passenger side exhaust manifold, no more truck turrets! Not sure I could part with my pathy. I sold my '72 bronco when I had kids. I've regretted it ever since. I don't want to make that mistake again.

Thanks CO! The trucks coming along nicely. Need to figure out a shake down run before wheeling season gets into gear.

Tried my hand at bed lining the fenders with rustoleum a bed liner. We will see how it holds up

My Hootus?! If I'm not mistaken, it's generally well protected. Is further care required?!

Had to do some cutting and grinding to clearance for new tires. I want to seal up the bare metal in primer, then cover it and a small area outside the fenders in bedliner. Anyone have any experience with the rustoleum, duplicolor, hurculiner... One better than the other?? Thanks!

Again I'm double posting. Technology hates me, my apologies.
