    Same with me. There were some good deals on camera accessories but nothing worth me jumping on. I wish those lights were a little cheaper or smaller. Nowhere to mount 7" lights

    I've gotta do both. Hoping to get these and new UCAs in by the end of summer. Thinking of doing weld on spindle gussets too

    I think I'm waiting for Black Friday to buy anything big (rear resi shocks). I need to get in a maintenance mode for the rest of the summer but I'm also saving for a rear bumper

    Topped off the transmission and it's still doing it :(. Looks like it will be out of commission for awhile since I really don't have the money or time to have it rebuilt right now :(

    Gap to match contour of hood and fenders needs tweaking. Other than that, money.

    Gap is an inch to big all the way to the side marker lights, then an inch and a half around the marker lights, then the taper needs slight change in angle.

    Daaang. That sucks. How long was it doing it for? How low was it? Anything shiny or carbon colored floating in the fluid?

    Started the other day and haven't driven it. I never drained the fluid but it looks clean on the dip stick. It was just about where it says "cold" on the dip stick when it was warm.

    Do you think a bad TPS could cause it?

    Technically yeah. Have you had any other symptoms of it though? If you have a voltmeter you can look at signal wire coming from it and look for a smooth change in voltage as more throttle is applied.
    Should see .5v at closed throttle up to 4.5 volts at wide open.
    Tested with key on engine off of course lol.
    No need to w.o.t. the motor and throw a rod

    I've been getting a TPS CEL for a little bit. Mostly with light throttle it would drop RPMs and kick back up.
