Well, the alternator finally died. Took it back to Cost Less it tested bad so they gave me a new one. Threw it in, actually fit better than the first one, and its working so far. I guess we'll see if it ends up shorting out too.
More on my runner:
When I first got it, it was bareback, and had stock steelies with some puny wheels on it. It was time for a change.
Went and got a stock t4r rack from the yard. Drilled through the roof and used some hand rivets to mount/seal it, no leaks or anything! Strong as if it were factory, I was more than happy with the results.
Here is the rivets:
Next I threw on some 15x10 Alluminum wheels, with some 33's to beef it up.
Now its drivable!
Many more things to come. Stay tuned.
