Last tank I got about 242 miles on the tank. which is ~15 mpg. But the gas light is a bit flakey on my truck. I have a lot of body roll, so the gas light turns on/off for about 15 miles. I really don't get gas until the light is ON even in the turns.

Be sure to order a black one. the gray is not gray. its more of a silver color. it will not match in the slightest. I resprayed mine with a rustoleum can from home depot. closest thing I could find.

Finally got around to digging into my rear window yesterday. Popped the panel out, and found no relay? I guess the previous owner removed it and just didn't reinstall it. I found one in my box of spare parts. popped it open, checked everything, slapped it in and it worked flawlessly other than the rear windshield wiper giving me a little headache. Once I got it to seat on the top perfectly. everything works.

Yeah the window was a strange fix. I popped the panel off and found that there wasn't even a relay installed? I had a spare sitting in my garage, Popped it in, and it was getting power to it from both switches. I turned my windshield wiper on, turned it off. it clicked, and boom both switches roll the window up and town. Can we say topless for California summers?

Not particularly.
I have a few parts gathered for my rear end swap. Trying to track down a set of 6" all pro springs. not sure if I want to buy brand new or pick some up used.
But I have the new rear spring mounts, new shackle mounts and shock mounts. I also have a blue sea fuse block that needs to be installed but I haven't found a place under the hood for it yet.
I went on a trip with I8hmud.com i'll post pictures of it later on today.

I think you'll be happy with the AllPro springs, I just recently swapped in their 6" rear lift and am really happy with them. Since they flex so well off road, I was expecting more body roll and sway when cornering on the hwy, but I was surprised at how well they handle!
Look forward to your wheeling pics!

I need to make a trip to pick n pull and snatch up a 2wd 3vz oil pan, and the LSPV delete brake line T. and also relocate my steering stabilizer.
Then I should be able to lower it down.

Im just worried of how the truck will look sitting on 35s... I'm gonna pull a leaf from the front TG pack and make it a 5 leaf. of course keep the removed leaf and maybe swap it in later. but this truck has 29" of frame clearance. if I can drop it down to about 25-25.5" that'd be great.

I have about 26-1/2" to 27" frame clearance, but I'm running 6 leaf RUF springs up front. If your shooting for 25" of frame clearance you might need to go with their 5" rear lift springs. Of course I also don't have a rear bumper or spare tire, and my springs are fairly new, they might settle a little more.
I haul a lot of gear when I go camping too, plus my spare, and more fuel. And I sag with what with it loaded down. lol
