    After taking the liner out it really doesn't look that bad except for the drivers side bedside where it's rusting through. but everything else in the pics seems to be just surface rust...

    Any idea why these holes would be here?

    I'm thinking those holes are for a stupid bed roll/light bar that the previous owner must've had on here

    Probably so but I'd just bedline the bed and not worry about them

    This has been the direction I've been leaning towards.. it's just a matter of finding a good color matched bed with no rust whatsoever. My color isn't exactly popular so my options are fewer.

    You might want to grab a couple more to flush the system out. The steering rack is not fun to replace, and you will want to make sure you flush out all the old crap out.

    Hmm I'm trying to minimize cost unfortunately. I've recently (within a year) flushed the PS system and cleaned the screen on the reservoir. What's the least amount I could go with? Lol.:anonymous::crapstorm:

    Axle shims, most likely 3 degrees. For correcting vibrations after lifting.

    I was just checking out my steering rack and it's such a small leak.. Damn.. I haven't even really noticed a drop in the PS fluid..

    Oh well better to be safe than sorry..
    It seems like my steering rack also has about an 1/8" of play at the bushings, is there something specific that might be causing this? They are poly bushings and are 2 or 3 years old. Hopefully I don't need new bushings already..
