Roll Me Over
One more thing your gonna want to address - the door/cabin light switches. Easy to pull out, and two pins into the clip once you get them out to get at the insides (careful, spring loaded) Mine corroded over time after spending a night underwater. Since a closed circuit turns the lights off - once they corrode they will drain the battery, and you won't be alerted to the source of the problem except by isolating and checking circuits.

In fact I need a front pass side one with the plugs and some of the wire attached - posting up in items wanted...

Body Damage is Cool
No, I went in forward at about 25 mph thinking that it was only about 12-18 inches deep (note the missing grille - it broke on impact with the water then floated up onto the hood where it caught on the wipers). I had made it through the deepest part and was starting to climb out the other side when it stalled. It turns out that getting salt water up in the valleys between the cams tends to short out the ignition system - who knew? I was pleasantly surprised that the engine didn't suck any water in through the intake - later on I moved "install a snorkel" to the bottom of my to-do list.

Well she has been running like a champ for the past few weeks. Runs better actually. The power locks had been acting up since I bought the truck and now they work perfect. Must have been the ETACS cleaning.

Anyways, yanked a huge stump out of the ground a couple days ago. Had to drive through some thick brush and on the way back out a big branch busted out my side window lol. Nothing a little duct tape didn't fix.

They also easily break off when they snag on your clothes as you lean over to work on something in the engine bay. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shiner.gif" alt="" />
