Get yourself a Renix Engine Monitor, my guess is the O2 sensor isn’t working properly. New O2 sensors have not been working correctly, search the forum for more info on that.

Painted the interior yesterday. Used Duplicolor Sandstorm bed liner for the sleeping platform, the stuff is horrible to spray, the cans stop spraying, start dribbling and leave a third of the product behind. I don’t recommend using it at all. The bottom portion was going to be the same bed liner but decided on paint. Also, all my stainless hardware arrived so assembly will begin after a few days of paint curing.

On eBay in Lynnwood, WA

Congrats, great looking truck.

Work continues. Gave the tent an overnight Oxi-Clean bath which removed all the mold/mildew stains, I was amazed, pictures will come once it’s back together. Cleaned and repaired all the structural supports including the springs which turned out really nice. Before: After rust removal: After bluing:

January 2023 update, see first post. 22 new additions this month for a total of 2054.

I drilled holes into the bed rails. You can use J-hooks that will grab the underside of the bed rails and feed into the box.

@eaglescout526 or @Pete M please move to 1989 registry, Thanks.

It is a Pioneer, in 89-92 the 6th position denotes the trim: 2=Base 3=Pioneer 6=Eliminator

There is gold at the end of a rainbow!!!

It's also a metric ton.

Both of those are Marchal 850s, the ones below on the brush guard are 750s they’re a little smaller.

Where are you ordering these from? Thanks

Decided to blow apart the WilderNest for a thorough cleaning, painting, new bulb seal, stainless hardware/fasteners and general refurb.

Well I purchased a Crown one from Amazon PN 83501426T and it does not have the pressure relief valve and is a repackaged MotoRad. It’s going back.

Great decision and thought process!!! They look fantastic with the arm rest in place.

How about the best of both worlds?

There shouldn’t be a trim piece between the flare and fender. From my experience, the colored ones tend to do this but the black ones do not. XJ fronts are the same as MJ fronts, look in the junk yards or buy reproduction ones, I think they’re still made by Crown or Omix-Ada but not sure of quality.

Removed the pinstripes and got it ready for a new cap to bed seal. Before: After:

Congrats (?) on the new job!

Yes it is.

Yes, get the VINs and add them to the registry.

My understanding is you need the 97+ regulators. Read through Gjeep’s Son of Stink build, I believe he documented it.
