Well, I've eliminated the mod, cut out the sections of wires that might have been damaged by the scotchloks, soldered them and covered them with heat shrink. I've also pulled the pass side head light and examined all the wires and the thing is still acting nuts. When the low beams are on, the pass l...

I'm no expert but that looks more like a defect under the paint than contamination over it. On the bright side it draws your eye away from the color mismatch on the hood.

Do a search for the evap system with HenryJ as the author. He has done extensive research on the topic but, I do not see it affecting your mileage problem.

Bump for a solid, well thought out rig! I have wheeled with it, listened to it, touched it, drooled over it.......etc.

What are your plans if, you sell it?

I know that you can do a chit load better than 10K if, you part the easy stuff removed and part it.

Do a search for bump stops with HenryJ as the author. They kinda of dawned on me when we were racing against darkness in Moab and a small whoop would appear before I could slow down.

Is our stock IFS and rear axle too weak to support 35's? Yes. 35" tires are possible with some cutting and solid axles. 33" tires are a more reasonable solution though. 35s are hard on Dana 44s and Ford 9s if, you don't use common sense utilizing the skinny pedal without expensive upgrades.

Nothing is bullet proof. All you can hope for is to slow them down. Not a whole lot of people will have bolt cutters 3 miles up a trail.

It was off an S series and he had to modify it extensively. He has mentioned that it was a mod that he would unlikely repeat. Translated from Brule speak, it means that it was a major PITA to do. I would run as hard as I could in the opposite direction.
