    Could just need some grease in between the shift fork and piston. They're easy to rebuild an fairly cheap to replace.

    I have the design and all the materials to my by DIY batwing awning. Just not enough time to fab and install it. The only thing i havent found/designed is the bag to zip/snap over the whole thing. Post pics of your build if possible. PM me if you would like to see screen shots of my design. Good luck!

    Where would be the best place to get a tailgate latch? I added a pop-n-lock a year ago. The latch in the tailgate came apart. The rods and everything else are fine

    Me and @ovrlndkull installed my OME 880 coils. Leveled the truck right out at about 1.75" of lift. Also discovered I have a nail in my tire after the install. It looks squatted in the pics but my driveway isnt level.0617181420a.jpg

    It was good meeting you and that is one clean 1st gen you have! :thumbsup:
    Take it to Discount tire or someone that will Patch it and use a rubber plug it's a much better repair and the only repair that tire manufacturers will not void the warranty of their tires for.

    Now to start on the suspension, I'll be using my truck for reference. What tire should I go with for tread pattern?

    My eyes ain’t what they used to be. I can’t tell what they are set at in the day time. At night they are great, when the headlights are on.
    And I found the little metal sleeve for my OEM knob.

    Ah I see, I was just curious as to where you got them. I'm going to be making my own 3D printed ones at some point. They'll be "TRD" one letter on each knob

    changed the sparkplugs! Cleaned MAF sensor and throttle body as well.
    Truck is super happy now!

    I believe these were the original plugs (truck has 184k miles)
