Damn, that's a pain, hope you get it sorted, dude.

I removed the wood around the gauge pod, center vents, and shifter as well as the panel beneath the radio. Just haven't gotten to the A/C controls and radio trim yet. A heat gun makes things much easier, or I imagine a hairdryer would too, as mentioned. Without heat it is a royal PITA.

Congrat's on finding such a beauty. You're off to a great start!

Last Chance Gulch and Hungry Valley Off Road Park, Part II Went back through Last Chance Gulch in Mojave a few weeks ago after initially running the trail with nwoods, billygoats and a few other ExPo folks. Coming down off the V-notch bypass...again. Mojave Sunset Then, last weekend I...

I have the Goodyear floormats from Costco, too. Just put them in last weekend. They've been offgassing to high heaven but they look pretty stout and were a good fit in front. Coverage in the back is a bit lacking, though. Front

As ca18_sean mentioned, it is a Caribbean import and rare on the West Coast. They are typified by the Gen 2 body style (even during the 98-2000 model years), monochromatic paint scheme, body colored bumpers, "Dakar" graphics, chrome front grill, steel wheels, and running boards.

No affiliation here. Import model in So Cal... http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sfv/cto/4143926254.html

Not if I can get to it first... Rig looks fantastic...and white is definitely my favorite color, too

Nathan, Clem's right, no locker was available on the 2000 model

Are the dash lights still dimmable with the LED bulbs?

I've been running Mobil 1 5W-30 for the last 2 changes. The valve train has really quieted down in that time. For filters I usually try to go with Wix.

Lighting/Roofrack Here are some night shots of the LED interior lights I installed a few months back. They really make a big difference. Red LEDs in stock cabin light locations. Additional white LEDs. Added a switch in the CHMSL surround. It controls a separate circuit that powers only...

Wagy Flats Redux Went back up to Lake Isabella and Wagy Flats over the weekend. This trail went off the main road. Too much to tackle alone...looked exciting though.

Thanks for the input all. Yeah, guess I just need to bite the bullet and swap in a rear locker. I was kinda looking for a shortcut...that the 2000 didn't come with a factory locker kills me, oh well.

I vote for this as it sounds like yours has a lot of life left with the current mileage and the maintenance work you've performed. If you sell it though, I think you're looking at $3500-4500, depending on the motivation of the buyer and your truck's particular condition. As far as a more...

I've recently been thinking about an Aussie Locker (link) for the front end. At $300, they seem like a good deal. I have manual hubs so I can disengage the front axle for street driving, so not a problem there. The only downside would be driving in the snow/ice...which I don't do very often. In...

Hey grandpa...the rig is looking great and that tent mount is ingenious. I also see you installed a Gen 3 snorkel. Is it from eBay? How did the install go for ya? I'm thinking of doing the same.

Thanks for the input fellas. I'll just have to get under the rig to check things out.

Just wondering what the consensus is regarding the necessity of fluid changes after water crossings. I was stuck in a tire height deep water/mud hole for about 5-10 minutes earlier today and I'm wondering if I ought to change my front and rear diff fluids and repack my manual hubs. Would you...
