Looks good, White. I always thought those carpeted center sections would look better in black/dark-gray vinyl to match the tops. Thems was the 80's, though.
I also got the hatch screw kit from LMR. I really like having the screws black again. I know that sounds weird - but I dig it, LOL.
(When I say hatch screw kit, I got the kit for the whole car - but the screws for a hatch are different than a notch or vert)

A recognized brand of gear oil should probably be used to make an accurate assessment of what's best for a rear diff after its been driven on for a few yrs...
I'm looking at "affordable" rarely heard of 75w140 gear oils.
They say rated to GL5 etc...
Doesn't mean they are quality.
I last used Eurol fully syn 75w140 ($15/quart)18 months ago and my gear oil looks metallic with 2 k miles on this stuff.
Dude. Lets face facts here. Your rear diff is trashed. If your gear oil comes out looking like the tin man your bearings are shot. You can put whatever gear lube you want it, it's not going to magically fix itself
I wanted these door switches to look be as well, so I replaced them. Took me a bit to figure out that they are self adjusting. Actually... I had to ask on the local Fox page to make sure I was correct.
EDIT: Any ideas on cleaning this? Years ago my heater core leaked down here on the passenger side. Simple Green is not touching it. Sorry - it looks like I took the pic with a calculator. Must've had a smudge on the lens.

The bearings are shot?
I just heard this now. No one said anything in previous posts.
Which bearings, how many am I looking at to replace?
How did this happen ? The truck only has 90 000 miles on it
