Body Damage is Cool
Welcome. I sure envy your location. There are so many places to wheel in Colorado. Great looking truck.

Need a Spot
Thanks, guys. Yeah I consider myself pretty lucky finding this truck, and I really like the mods already done to it. The PO looks like he did everything nice. It drives/handles great - and I've yet to go offroad in it (but it's handled all the big snow storms here so far, and it can go real good though ther deep and sloppy stuff).

Yes, I think there's a body lift in addition to the lift kit. Not sure I can identify it - any tips how?

BTW, I'm looking for a part that needs replacing - the washer fluid squirter that's mounted above the rear window. I think it's a raised black nubbie looking thing. When I hit the rear washer, I get liquid splashing out, but not aimed anywhere. ;-) Anyone know the part and a place to buy it cheap? TIA

Yep - there's a series of 4" long rubber spacers all along the body, lifting it above the frame. (see pic).
So it has a body lift in addition to the 3" Calmini suspension lift - cool, good to know.

I've noted on the Calmini site they offer a high flow Airfliter replacement kit for the 3.2L. Anyone using that have any comments pro/con? I still have the stock airbox on my truck and this lokks like it might be a simple performance mod to make.

Regarding the question I posted above/previous about the rear window washer pump jet part - should that go to the Tech forum? I've also got another technical question about where to locate a oil-pump tool to deal with changing/filling my tranny - maybe I'll try posting that there too.

THX. No - I don't have any interior pics yet. (It's relatively stock, so I'd expect it to look like any other 98 Rodeo with grey cloth interior...)

BTW, your Rodeo is quite nice too. Looks like we could pass for "Spy vs. Spy". ;-)
