    ill be keeping this one for a while. it has some cosmetic things and interior things i need to fix, and that will be taken care of, and all the chrome will disappear. the truck will be a blue/black scheme, just not sure how far into a project i want to take this one.

    make sure your tires are evenly worn. Even a little difference front and rear you will be shopping for a new transfer case before too long. The AWD models are very sensitive to this. Regular rotation is key.


    So the problem was simply a loose nut between the steering wheel and the headrest?

    lol yeah... when you engage the brakes, the pedal stays in the down position and the brakes stay engaged... they dont release unless you physically pull the brake pedal back up... the rest of the issues is just replacing some worn and broken odds and ends

    just ordered some new driver's side front and rear door handles and some new universal 3 point seat belts for the rear... the seat belts will be a chore to install, but it will be worth it. having a welder father-in-law and a mechanic brother-in-law that live maybe 15 minutes away always helps too :)
