    Soft Top

    Previous owner put them on, think they are 31s..Older style BFG Mud terrains. no lift, all stock. Taking the 300lb top off makes the rear sit a bit higher :)

    Coldest starting temp.

    Yes but it still wont get below 10 degrees...If its 32 degrees normal, but 10 with the windchill, it still isnt below 32 as far as your truck is concerned.. That said, I havent started mine less than 50, as that is the temp i keep my heated garage at :) I do have a block heater I installed...

    Soft Top

    Once you take off the hard top and install the softtopper, you wont go back. Everybody says that before they install it... Softtopper is the only company making these..All the others went out of business 5+ years ago..And they were all more $ than softtopper anyway. It really is a good...

    Is it possible for a 6.2 to runaway, safety measures?

    I had never really thought of this until my ignition switch came apart when I went to shut it off....My initial reaction was somewhat panic, but I was able to jostle it around and get it to shut off...then went and got a new ignition switch :)

    Front seat repair/replace options

    Mine absolutely kill me after 20 minutes of driving...Just worn out... What options are there? Civi, s10, etc? I like the look of the stock seats, any options out there to rebuild?

    Al's liner came out good...

    Mine is a M1009 and I used it in the interior..It does smell bad for a day or two..I sprayed it saturday, and by last night (sunday evening) you couldnt smell it anymore...Shouldnt be a problem.

    Ive never heard of that paint in all my research..I just sprayed mine with Sherwin Williams CARC...I have no complaints, at all...Gives it the real texture the housepaints i experimented with werent able to...Plus, its like an epoxy and will stick to anything and everything with very minimal...

    Al's liner came out good...

    Yeah I was thinking about the durabak...Reason I went with Als was because my friend had used it, and it looked good..They have had good luck, his dad owns a construction company with 50+ trucks and they use it exclusively....No rubber pieces to add...Basically comes with 3 containners, mix them...

    Al's liner came out good...

    I decided to spray my m1009 with tan Als Liner..Friend had done it before, he already had the gun (which he pointed out you can get for $35 at HF rather than $60 from Als liner, its different than a normal spray gun)...I think it came out good....Definitely need to buy two gallons ($99 each...

    Seafoam question

    From my experience, Snake oil out performs all of them JK, seafoam is good stuff..hard for me to justify more additives when 1/3 of every quart of oil is already various additives....School me if Im wrong.
