@Team Dirt I like your bed I'm building a bed for an 05 right now and he wants a logging bed type set up
I put the visor on Diego today. No pics until after I wash it 
I had planned on fixing the rust before covering it back up but... I don't have the time before winter or the patience right now...
It was covered up with tape to keep water out so I wasn't sure how bad it was. The metal seems pretty clean and solid around it, but it's going to be a... "fun" summer project.
In the meantime I cleaned it up with a wire brush and painted it before re-taping it. It'll hold for now and the visor covers up almost everything. I did have to drill a new hole in the visor to miss the soft spot though.

After painting, gorilla tape is good for at least 3 years. Experience talking, here... Just make sure it is good and clean when you apply the tape, and rub that tape really good with something like a spoon or wrench.
Also, it didn't rust any more at all after the tape was applied!

I umm... May have applied the tape while the paint was still tacky. I don't think it's going anywhere lol!
I've been shocked how well gorilla tape holds up. Last place I worked I taped the truck mirrors back together with duct tape and it lasted like a month. Tried gorilla tape and got like a year and a half

I have a white '91 crew that I swore I was going to do something about after I finished my '93 and then my '06. I went and sprayed some rust reformer on it today

Knowing my luck the post office would lose it anyway
Today Tank hauled his last load for the year picked up some firewood and waste oil from work. I'm planning on swapping the tags from him to Diego over the winter.
When I got home I pulled the bumper and fog lights off Tank and swapped them over to Diego. Looks pretty good actually!
I also replaced the washer bottle and pump with a parts one I had. Washers work now! I still need to do something about the terribly slow wipers. Probably needs a wiper motor.
The visor seems to have changed the aerodynamics just enough to make the front wall of the cap wobble a little bit. I'm not sure what I'll do about that, I might just try sliding it back a half inch.

A couple reasons, mainly because registering Diego would cost me about $300 plus sales tax plus an extra $35/month for insurance. I just can't justify that especially when I'm planning on NOT driving Tank in the snow/salt. Doing it this way the insurance stays the same and registration transfer will only cost around $150 including sales tax.
Tank needs paint and honestly quite a few other things right now, one of them being a return line kit and one or two injectors pulled and the copper washers replaced.
Look it up!

I'm not running it yet really, I ran some of it this year on my way out to Wes' place. I need to get a drum heater and do some more work to my setup before I "get serious" but I do have plenty of waste oil to "burn through" so to speak!
