*downtown 😜 If I never left the valley, I could probably get away with only having a summer bike & studded fatbike...

I appreciate that not everyone prefers current technology, and I'm still that way over all. You're about my parents' age. I hope this makes you chuckle - I have to remind myself I'm still young, as I'm about to hit 40 😂 Growing up in Alaska, everything was a number of years behind the rest of...

I do all of this too (in my phone), including a to-do list, plus some common fluid capacities, part numbers, and a few torque specs, so I don't have to look it up every time. Separate notes for family vehicles I maintain, and the same for my boat & bikes. I also end up with notes for individual...

Sounds like your repair will be more thorough than mine was. I scuffed the mating surfaces and used a high-strength plastic-specific superglue. It worked well for what it was, but I had to be conscious of being gentle when resetting the trip meter. The one time I forgot to do so, it ended up...

Once you have the unit removed from the gauge cluster, pry off the needle and remove the two small screws holding the printed face of the speedo. Then to separate the trip meter from the unit, release the clips as shown in the original post. That should give you access to deal with the gears and...

Unfortunately. Freak snow accident coming down the road from our ski area that I've driven a thousand times. I was one of three cars the same day, one of which was a 100 series. Hidden dicey conditions got me.

I'm pretty sure this was my LED Swap. My 80's life sadly came to an end (totaled), so can't specifically check. It appears 74 alone refers to a family of bulbs. It might be "mini wedge?" For what it's worth, I do recall one replacement, probably from O'Reillys, didn't fit correctly despite...

Going off what Kernal said - I was chasing a similar leak, and pulled the kick panel trim on each side, which revealed what I needed. FWIW, I also had some dripping on the outside of the passenger trim. That was when I decided to re-route the sunroof drain hoses through the floor plugs, which...

Certainly would have guessed these were more than 4 years old..

In my mind, you simply have two major options.. Put time & money into trying to make the unnecessarily tall lift feel okay, in which case you still end up with an unnecessarily tall lift - which has drawbacks even if you can get it set up well. Or Swap in a reasonable lift, which by nature...

You want the relay rod/drag link pretty parallel with the panhard for proper handling purposes, which would get out of whack with a bracket, hence only using an adjustable panhard to center the axle. Rear is a different story given there's no steering. 7" is way overkill. If it were me, I would...

Yes the trip meter is replaceable, but when mine broke, I couldn't find one. You'd most likely have to buy an entire gauge cluster with it included, but then you're still dealing with old brittle plastic bits, and the cluster is certainly more than a few dollars. The connecting piece from the...

What about a low platform that's easily removable? I cobbled one together with scrap wood for a road trip last year in my 4runner, and ended up leaving it in. Really like having tools/gear underneath, with a full bed for the dogs up top (cheap foam camp pads) - also gives them a better view...

It's a little finicky like the PHH, but you can reach it through the wheel well/underneath (can't remember which route I took). Mine was weeping at the lower connection, as the hose end was in bad shape. I pulled that end off the nipple, trimmed it a little, reinstalled, and it fixed the issue...

Only being out $1400 right now, considering your financials and the state of the truck, *personally* I would sell it and find something else.
