    Its probably not stuck in the tank. Its probably stuck on the flap that keeps people from doing this. Remove the filler neck and pull it out

    It easy to do with a small pancake compressor and a undercoating gun. I do mine each fall and I can do it in about 30 min. A gal last me 3 yrs.

    Re-dipped my rear bumper after having it replaced after a rear-end accident. Looks soo much better black instead of chrome!

    While I was at it, I replaced the crappy led tag lights I had that flickered like a disco show...(that's what I get for being cheap and not ordering from a reputable source)....

    And...discovered I am missing one of my roof rubber strips.. does anyone know if I would need it for the OEM roof rack install? Or if I order the rack can I get away without having it and negate having to replace it? This gives me a good excuse to actually order a roof rack finally...I have wanted one forever!) Rather than just replace the stupid strip....

    Driving in Vegas has led me to investing in one of these...cray cray on the roads, daily. Not a bad install...hardwiring takes the most time. Like the peace of mind and maybe I'll snag a Viral shot some day.

    You don't need them at all. The rack has little sections of channel cover on each end.

    Bilstein 5100 all around, front set at 0 with OME 887. Light racing UCA. Dakar full pack in back. aluminum running boards. Scangauge II. Painted flat black rims. Raider canopy.
    My rear pinion was leaking or so I thought. When I got the flange out of the diff, turns out the oil was getting through the splines and coming out of the flange that the drive shaft bolts to. So cleaned up the teeth on the flange and the pinion and put some gasket maker on the teeth and the flange. So far so good. No leaks. Also got my parts in for my 3 inch lift in the front. 887 and LR UCA, just need a weekend on call so I have the work truck to get around to do the swap over.
