I poured a chocolate shake on mine :( . Doubly bad because I hadn't even taken a sip yet.

Agreed. Steel and aluminum don't do well in direct contact. Everything I was bolting on was bolting to the fiberglass hood. Well worth a mention that steel and aluminum should be insulated from each other. Edit to add - now that i think about it I have stainless steel nuts in contact with the...

I removed and painted the light buckets, replaced a bunch of hardware with stainless, scritched and repainted access doors, grilleguard, hood hold downs, and replaced the rear hood seal and related hardware. A lot more work than I thought it was going to be. Before, and then several after...

Of all the aftermarket "improvements" , the amber lights seem pretty benign in the scheme of things. They look good to me....

I'm not sure it's a matter of keeping a lower overall operating temp. I think it's more a matter of preventing localized hotspots. Keeping the whole thing cooler may keep the hotspots less hot, but I still think the primary concern are those small pockets near #8 that get hot. I speculate that...

Tried to start it a couple of days ago at 6*. It cycled the glowplugs, then gave one halfhearted crank and clicked at me. I gave up. Today, having not charged the batteries and having not done anything to it, I tried again. It cycled the glowplugs and started easily on the first crank...

I got some 6/4 cable and lugs from which to assemble grounding harness...

I like it. What kind of paint?

I did my first piece of idiocy today. I ran the redtruck out of fuel in the middle of nowhere. I considered driving the hmmwv to go get some, but in the end I decided to just rob from the tank. I removed the nut from the bolt that goes through the rubber plug. That was insufficient to let fuel...

I just acquired mine. Transporting it home...
