            I love it... resist the urge to paint it! Series are one of the few vehicles I've seen that can pull it off, the character of the truck itself transcends matching/clean paint. Looks great!

              Completely agree. Nothing else can live up to what that truck already has going on.

                  Wish I could pull off driving a 101 but city life in WY isn't like VT.... LOL. ;-)

                      That's because you just drive over the other cars!

                          Ted - If you don't mind, pics of your mounting would be appreciated.

I purchased the isolator kit that is supposed to cut down on noise and vibration - two rubber buffers attach the mounting bracket to a separate bracket that I attached to the front fuel tank outrigger. I don't recall if the isolator kit came with the bracket or if I fabbed it. Simple stuff, in any case.......

                            Found a suitable replacement fuel cap for the 25 year old, prior owner version.

                                Almost finished the installation of my auxilliary battery and split charge system. Installed my left hand front tank and wired in the sender. Fabricated a bracket to mount my tank selector valve to the seatbox. A bit of sheet metal work to protect the battery and some fuel lines left to run. I will post photos tomorrow.
