ColoradoPathy Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I installed a factory roof rack/rails to my truck. Lined it up where i wanted it, pre-drilled some holes, took it off, put silicone based waterproof caulk on/around the holes, lined the rack up with the caulk, and screwed it in with sheet metal screws! what do you think?

Harbinger Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 (edited) I finally got the steering column and AT brake lever out today! Also pulled the drive lines and disconnected the AT shift cables. Hosed down the rest with PB blaster and packed up for the night. Tomorrow, I hope to remove the t-bars and part of the exhaust.

Slartibartfast Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Colorado, nice work, looks like it came that way. I found some carpet padding, so I cut a piece of it to fit under my rear seats and replace the spongey stuff I tore out to repair the floors.

tmoore4512 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 While leaving work and walking towards it I noticed that it was sitting funny.... Further investigation revealed that one of my torsion bars had sagged considerably... Sigh... I only wish I knew how to grow money trees... I would have this baby done...

RF600 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Added a ground to the maf connector. So far it's not wanting to die on me when I come to a stop. It acts like a iac valve was going out. Already replaced that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahardb0dy Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Today, picked up a oil filter for the remote filter install, picked up a Purolator L30001, was going to get a PureOne as that is what I usually use but it was more than I had on me. Was going to find a place to install the filter mount but it rained most of the day here, maybe tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahardb0dy Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Last 2 times I figured my MPG I got 17.7 and 16.1, and I will admit I have been driving like a mad man lately, usually cruising to and from work at about 85, the other day this guy in a ranger kept speeding up to stay right next to me, no idea why so finally I floored the gas and it downshifted, got up to about 90 or so and he never caught back up.
