    Replaced the rear diff fluid. The local auto parts store now stocks Pennzoil 75W140 instead of Quaker, so I got that. (Both are Shell brands.) Also replaced the All-Pro drain plug with a Trail Gear one.
    Trail Gear P/N 140032-1-KIT on the right. All-Pro on the left, heavily rusted after six winters.

    The Trail Gear plug has a polished magnet that is stronger. Not sure how much of a difference it will make.

    I plan on removing my coin tray to install an air pressure gauge in the same area. Any suggestions on how to cover up that gaping hole?

    yep..

    Find a piece of flat black plastic and carefully cut it to size? Just an idea. Black rivets with fender washers on the back to mount it. Then gauge in the middle.

    Edit: or e brake trim

    Actually, that just might work. That would allow for the air tube and wires for the gauge light to pass through.

    Do you happen to have a part number?

    You seriously got stopped for not having a cover on your light bar? Who gives a crap if it is covered as long as you aren't running it as you roll down the highway.

    So glad I don't live there...
