Nice! glad you were able to get a set for less than $200.

If anyone if looking for the aftermarket, they can get it here.

That's pretty bada$s that someone is finally making them in the aftermarket. They looks pretty darn good too!

I wish I could run my tow hooks on my 3rd gen. But I can't because of how the plow mounts, mount up.

Got tired of questioning my oil pressure, so I installed a mechanical pressure gauge. So far the stock gauge is about 10 psi lower than the mechanical.
When I first started it up I showed 70 psi on the new one, and just over 40 on the stocker. Now we'll see what happens after running for a while.





Stock gauge.





New gauge installed.

Almost wrecked it today, someone pulled out right in front of me then slammed their brakes. My brakes locked up, luckily I was able to change lanes and avoid hitting the guy.

Also my P0308 light came on, Cylinder 8 misfire... Probably cause I've only got 106-107 psi compression on that cylinder... Probably a cracked head. I'll just ignore it for now, seems to run fine.

Now that's my kind of thinking.

Well, it runs fine, I think the light came on because I had it parked at an incline, and maybe more oil pooled around cylinders 7 and 8 on the back of the heads. Generally I have to give it some gas to get over the incline after I start it. That's when the light came on. Cleared the code and put 60-70 miles on it today, did fine.

Tincan,
Yeah, probably wouldn't hurt me to go that. If a good enough deal came along I'd consider it. Be nice to have the rear doors and double air bags...
