that explains it dry rot can turn any good tire bad, sucks that it happend after only six years, mine lasted just at a year they still have some tread but are becoming my spare set once I get my new tires.

Yanked my o2 sensors cleaned them with gas, rigged up my gas pedal for better response(at the cost of idling 50 rpm higher) as soon as I started the truck it ran better and the exhaust smelled perfect. Im content for now

New skyjacker dual steering stabilizer kit install today. $133 bucks. Already had duals, but they were old and wore out. Plus, the crushed one from sliding into a tree stump was not doing a very good job. Do'h.

The oil isn't diesel-black anymore. YAY!

Picked up a new set of sport dual bulb headlights, I will install the inner bulbs and relays in the next week, I also need to find new 3" driving lights. Installed new ckps. Pulled the gas tank to check for water and dirt (none) changed the fuel filter/regulator(full of bad stuff), pulled the fuel injectors to look for dirt (some found). I think it's time for new fuel rails.

Stuffed in a new IAC so I don't have to two-foot it around when the humidity is up. I was really really really glad for both my tire step and my telescoping inspection mirror.

For posterity: It's a Torx T-25 you need for that little widget, same as the TPS.

R&R'd my gas lid to replace a broken magnetic latch.

Installed stainless bolts and now I have adjustable steering stops.

Tested my steering stabilizer trying to track down a squeal in my suspension. Not the issue, but the shock is toast. Gotta be my urethane swaybar bushings squawking...oh frell!

Descovered all my shock bolts weren't torqued to specs. Doing that got rid of some annoying clunks. Now I need to bolt down my spare..

Rebled the right side caliper.

Fixed my grinder (repaired on off switch) oiled my air wrenches and got the workbench cleaned off.
Time for the next project.

NICE!
I've always like the look of the factory Sports. How well do they work? Did you use one of those conversion kits like LMC sells?

Just buy a new gasket and pull the TB, it's easier...lol
