    Finished painting the roof basket and mounted it today. 38"x23"x4" and all the 1" tubing came from an old full size truck rack I hauled off for free. The bottom is raised expanded metal and will support me standing in it. :D

    Looks good, mine were bad but not as bad as that, they can clean up well with a wire wheel on a drill!! And clean all the internals. And remember to set the IFP at the correct depth, charge to 200 psi. Those are great shocks.

    I am going to order all new internals for the one caked in mud. It was totally ruined with pitting on the valve bodys. Just hope Sway a way still makes parts for the older model shocks.

    WD-40'd my tailgate latches so I no longer have to slam the sucker shut.

    Been meaning to do this for at least 10 months.

    If you are really really bored one day...take off the access panels and take apart everything thing you can, clean it, and re-grease it. On my 93, it was pretty gummy/dry after 200k miles. After I was done, I could push it closed with one finger with a quiet, smooth, and very satisfying "click."

    If you put a dab of wheel bearing grease on the little wedge shaped latches it closes like butter and lasts longer than WD-40
