I posted this in the 1stgen what did you do to your truck today section but will repost here to get it in the 2ndegen threads.

Ordered one piece black housing headlights today. I am in that mood to do some appearance mods so will hopefully be posting soon that I purchased a 2" leveling kit and shocks.

painted the drivers side frame and patched a couple holes in the dump body, also ordered towing mirrors for it today!

I dreamed about driving it on the next camping trip. Since starting to tow with this truck, driving to the destination is more fun than the actual destination. At $4 a gallon, diesel is getting so expensive I spend more time dreaming than driving.

on the high idle sub. I´v seen some real complicated heavy dudy setups on here and the cable setup... I just got a normal closed air switch from scrap car i think a toyota and a vaccum acctuator that opperates choke on a nissan sunny 93 and a switch, a ´T´ and a vaccume hose and a few feet of wire.. just routed a vaccum hose to under the dash hooked the electrics straight to the cigar lighter loom and it works perfect cost like 5 bucks

Does tomorrow count?

Going to install the ISSPRO pyro, reinstall the center console, fix the fuel pressure gauge, try driving it without the fuel plate, checkout why the 4X4 light is out on gthe dash, and I might even wash it.

installed a new track bar and driver side ball joints, will do passenger side tomorrow, and was sucessful in blowing out a line or something on the powersteering from turning the wheel a bunch of times with the truck off. :banghead:. didnt look yet to see exactly what it was. ( too tired)

Yesterday I bought a shell for my truck that I found on craigslist. It fits perfectly and is painted to match. It hasn't been on a truck in over a year so it is filthy dirty. I paid $80 for the shell.

I camp twice a year and sleep in the bed of the truck. This will make camping much better.
