I got the speakers installed an the amp hooked up. So nice to have rear speakers in the truck. It sounds way better then the stock two speaker set up. I need to get a four channel amp to run all the speakers off a amp. The rears are on a amp the fronts off the head unit. Have the fade set to the front to balance the sound.

Reinstalled drivers door panel after speaker and weatherstripping replacement. Replaced tail lights. Going to reinstall passenger door panel and speakers in cab today (1/24) and hopefully zero in on my coolant leak today also. Hopefully, it's warm enough and my driveway clears of the ice/snow/sludge so I can get a good look underneath

LOL! I just saw your post and laughed because I bought my truck in Eugene! The truck was worth the drive, but I don't think the bumper is worth the drive! Sorry I couldn't help you out!

Yeah, a guy is coming over Friday to look at it. But he's only coming from Beaverton about 35 miles or so! Good luck, I hope you find one soon!

Default New steering and bushings!

I removed the front axels and replaced the axel pivot bushings, radius arm bushings, tie rods/ends, center link, brake pads. The ball joints looked and felt great, they must have been previous replaced with greaseables. It was a big job but it went well. I rented a ball joint press for the axel pivot bushings - worked like a boss.
