Thanks!

Mine is the same just leaning in a lil at top ... I was told by my shop (NTB) the camber could not be adjusted on this model lol and the same dont worry the tires will wear even. I can go back before 6 mo and get it done free again so Im going to install new tie rods and take it back to another NTB location see what they can do with it.

Default Leaking Vacuum Can

Well, I've been chasing a CEL issue. All codes pointed to a vacuum problem. I removed the "coffee can" and put it in a bucket of water. Guess what? Multiple leaks along the seam. No sense going to the JY, they would be just as rusty or worse. What is an old hillbilly to do? Why make one of course. Got the idea off another forum. Used a piece 4" light weight pipe that was laying around, bought two end caps ($1.98 each), one check valve ($4.99 ), and a vacuum connector. Drilled two holes in one of the caps, used some RTV on the outside of the cap to seal the vacuum fitting and check valve into place. For good measure, mixed up epoxy to glue the pieces inside. Glued caps on pipe, paint, done. I made it about 1 1/2 inches longer than original (more=better right?) works great. Less than $10 with the pieces/parts I had laying around.

Default Plow lights and backup lights

I've also been working on the lights for plowing that white . The original set up on the lights was non-working with the wiring/switch messed up. Separated the plow lights from the truck lights.
Made a new switch mount. Reused the holes in the dash from the original. I now have two switches and a light. The switch on the left is an On-Off-On for the front plow lights. Up high beams/down low beams. Light comes on with the high beams. Switch on the right is for new fog lights mounted as backup lights

Default Fog lights as Backup lights

Small fog light used for backup lights:




All tucked up out of the way (I Hope):




Stock lights:




With new backup lights




The pictures do not do them justice, They are bright and should reflect off the snow extremely well. I was warned not to mount them so low because of snow build up while diving. As hot as these lights get, I think they will melt any snow that accumulates. We shall see if I should have taken this advice or not.

Default Truck with cap removed

While I'm at it, a few gratuitous pictures of the truck without the cap.
