Dig the expedition orange...
I threw a 20th birthday party - my rig was came off the line in August 1995 so I baked it a cake.
Well, not really, but I did dump a can of BG 44K in her, close enough and seems appropriate for a 20 year old truck.

Looks really good Phil. Seriously, great job!!
finally got around to replacing the starter contacts. No more click - click - click - click - start!
Did part of OBDR 3 and all of OBDR 2.

I'll be doing that this week. anything to watch out for when doing the change?
its a pretty straight forward job but do keep track of where things (o-rings, gaskets, shields, etc.) are located once you start taking things apart. the kit i got was a Dorman brand and didn't include a plunger in the kit. Also, the square head bolt supplied to replace the one pictured on the right hand side was too short so i had to tap off the old one and press on the new contact. not a big deal - easy job .

Looking good!
Wonder if you wouldn't mind snapping a pic of your ARB fridge and campstove with the drawer closed?
A buddy has the ARB Fridge and is building a platform with slides for it, and I'd love to see what it looks like when closed, if you don't mind.
Cheers!
Here you go...yes I still have no drawer faces and it's been well over a year
Can't decide if I want side wing lids or not, and have just not gotten to it.

Awesome, thank you!!!
Sweet 80! Thought it was a 55, then I saw the dash and steering wheel.
Had the injectors cleaned, noticed a small improvement.

Didn't go anywhere or do anything special. Was busy helping my wife with AYSO opening day event. 115* and the truck never went above 193*WT so I'm pretty happy. The alt is dying so I keep my Gen2 charger plugged into the bumper.
All of the premium pumps were down at my local gas station and since I was running on vapors I decided to go with regular. Ugh, what a mistake. No pinging or CEL but boy did it dog out on the power. Ran over to Pep Boys for a bottle of Octane juice. Truck was mucho happier after about four miles. I need to keep a six-pack of these in my truck.

No, but I imagine that I will be seeing a cougar in every shadow when I am in that area now.

Is there a thread on your upgraded ARB attachment points? I need to do that.
Changed out my water pump in a motel 6 Parking lot on sat night after work with a couple of end wrenches and a borrowed flashlight . Took about and hour to do the pump R&R but there was the 2 hours to get the belts back on. Had to basically totally remove the ALT after fighting with it for a soild hour to get it to move again so I could get the belts back on and tension on them..
