Some inspiration for your underseat storage rack, built this out of 1/2 inch birch.
Using it as an amp rack, but not too different. Albeit, i'm in an 06, but it wasn't hard to build with a table saw. Has a multi level floor, and is bolted to the lower seat brackets on each side of the "60" seat.
Planning to bedline it, probably same thing you will do with yours.
Could have done it a half inch smaller all around, but overall, it is going to work perfect.
Looks good, maybe I'll ditch the single seat, do custom storage there, and do an under seat storage under the double... That way I still have a backseat and the storage I want.
So, I've decided to ditch the leveling and bigger tire's idea. Gunna keep that stock as I don't want to mess with the speedometer and MPG.
The question now is exactly which tire's... Considering GY Wrangler DuraTrac, BFG AT KO2, or Nitto Grappler G2...
I work for Game and Fish, and am an outdoorsman. Most of my miles are highway but I need the AT capabilities cause when I do go out, there's likely no road at the destination.
Considering EFans. But I'm not sure if it's worth it for the MPG savings, it gets over 115 here in the summer. Idk, maybe after a dual battery setup.
Found some "old" pictures from when we pulled the engine for the rebuild back in 2011. We pulled it ourselves, with the help of a friend to determine if it was salvageable after it was ran dry of oil and threw a bearing. Had it rebuilt and reinstalled by a rebuild shop downtown with a warranty.
Replaced two hoses today. A vacuum hose and a section of the hose that leads into the air intake drawing air for the crank case.
And checked for codes and other issues, again, taught the idiot working there how to use a scanner... Still no misfire code, so the new spark plug seems to have done the trick and is performing fine.
Tested the PCV valve vacuum too, pulling good.
New hoses are in and I've noticed the RPMs aren't dropping to 400 when braking from higher speeds. Gunna reset the PCM and hopefully that's it.
And I guess this should get the Sway bar stabilizer links replaced... Bad on both sides.
Probably replace the bushings on everything else too. What grease is a good grease to use on these?
