My wife is bugging me about the tatty interior, so I am trying to cheap my way out. I found some duplicolor leather, vinyl and fabric spray and painted it black, after determining all the brown colors would look crappy.

How did your steering wheel need recovering? The rest of your rig looks freaking brand new! Do you have scissor hands or something?
Took off Wednesday and headed to a few of my favorite fire roads - kind of like the weekend

Where was this? Looks pretty cool and may not be too far from us in NC. Always interested in cool exploring experiences and places to go, thanks!

Just a hard use area... You could tell the PO was right handed and used the right side of the wheel... Wasn't bad, but my OCD would not allow that to stay... I held out a few years...

Your living the dream! N. NV is spectacular and under rated. How is the JB tent working out for you?
It was really amazing. I just hope the secret doesn't get out too far. We traveled 700 miles of off-road amazingness.
The JB tent performs amazing. I really like it. I honestly sleep as good in the tent as I do at home.
Found and Fixing (I HOPE!!) #6 misfire.
Replaced plugs and wires... Didn't work
removed cleaned #6 injector .... Didn't work
Replaced #6 injector with new OEM... Didn't work
Was frustrated and stared at it for some time.
Saw the harness by the EGR pipe was all discoloured and looked burnt. Poked at it, noticed it was falling apart and then Dug in and found the an exposed wire. The same yellow blue that runs to #6
Now to take it up all nice then heat wrap it and keep it away from the EGR.
Hope this will solve the misfire.

Congrats!! We just moved to Michigan as well, though on the opposite side of the state, up near Ludington. We are taking our first camping trip to the UP next week. Lots of area to explore when you get some time!
