Thanks guys, the new pump is in. I was changing oil and smelled gas. I got the new oil in and started it, I saw the leak right away. I got a new fuel pump and put it in and changed oil in both diffs, motor, transfer and tranny today. Its good to be done with maintainence for a while. Time for a nap.

On my pictures and the bumper... That's just some old stakeside truck from a calander that I scanned to illustrate a point once, its not my truck but it looks cool and i'd like to have it.

With the bumper, I had a friend weld a second 1/4 inch plate to the back after I straightened it. 1/4 inch additions to the inadequate original gussets went on as well. It dosen't move when I stand on the main cross tube and bounce my weight so i'm happy with it for now. I had bolts welded to it just above the winch fairlead for the liscence plate. I had 4 tabs welded on for the winkers, they are in the same place but bolted on instead of zip tied, stock turn signals still in use.

Thanks for the info on the weep hole, that's where the fuel was coming from. You can't see the hole with the pump mounted, I have to get one of those mirrors on a stick thingies.
