Point noted, and I edited the image for the owners integrity. But do you blur out your license plate when you drive around town?
Yes but I use my arb bumper on all the paparazzi trying to take my pictures in the bushes.

Touché, good sir.Yes but I use my arb bumper on all the paparazzi trying to take my pictures in the bushes.
Discovered some drips. Anyone know where this could be leaking from and why? Nothing too major, perhaps a little case of 'OCD' to stop any leaks I can find. I thoroughly cleaned up the area so waiting to see which area develops the most grime and take it from there.
Nothing too drastic..

Try and clean it all off and then keep an eye on it..oil moves front to aft and top down. You might be surprised where it lead to. Check that it is oil (might be ATF (steering fluid) or coolant. Typical sources would be upper oil pan seal or worst case a rear main seal.

Usually it is the upper oil pan rear arch. Sometimes it is the rear main crankshaft seal.
For the screens just use flexible screen material and glue some strong magnets. Cut the screen to size and it works great! I'm in Orwigsburg, PA picking up some farm equipment as I write this. Some beautiful country here. Nice platform BTW.

Picked up a 5.3 motor and spent some time cleaning her up. Also was lucky enough to have a local junkyard with a 91' shifter!

Pan arch....is first guess, second is rear main seal.
I'm actually a week behind, but...

then into this hole,
and finally, straight to Shoveltown...

That's a great idea! Thanks! I just put that on my long list of things to do. This weekend I'm going to be as little south of where you are were for a wedding in Lancaster.
Trimmed some of the center clock/vent bezel and installed a phone mount that had been sitting in the closet from a previous vehicle. Used some self tapping screws to mount my CB mic holder. Vent to the right of the speedo is fully unobstructed when bracketron phone holder is closed (for those really hot days) and is partially blocked when in use. CB mic chord isn’t dangling from mirror or in front of the radio. It’s slightly difficult to “reholster” the mic while the phone is in the holder until you get a feel for it. Wish I hadve done this sooner. I did manage to forget and plug the clock back up :-(
Phone mount is in the perfect position to keep an eye on the road and on your maps while off-roading or during highway travel. I also use a GPS speedo app on the interstate since my speedo is off a little, and to keep my mind busy.

Mind me asking what that cost you? Strongly considering doing a vortec swap or the Wits End turbo. My only complain about the truck is the lack of power
Wow, that is kinda big news!
Finally got around to taking care of the little things. OME steering dampner, front sway bar drop brackets from Metaltech, Spidertrax wheel spacers, missing interior pieces and last cleaning up the underside from the 26 years of grime.

Wits' End
Opposite of what I was told no more than 30 days ago. But not the end of the world.
But NOT ProCharger.......
I called them once to see if they would.........Yeah, no. If I paid THEM to do all the research and footed the entire bill, then, yes......
Sorry, but their "technology" is not a turbo. Not a fan, as in I don;t care for it, but it's not a fan either, but it's not a positive displacement, but it IS belt driven...........Oh, never mind......
