Hey, sweet window decal! They're always sold out when I try and pick one up. I'm actually going to be in Houston this evening until Friday, any nice off-road type shops worth checking out? I'm planning on hitting up 4-Wheel Parts store on 1960 (actually used to live right by there long ago).

I'd start with the aftermarket wiring. Trailer wiring, stereo wiring, offroad lights, anything that ties back to that fuse is suspect though.

Well, turns out I went to put something in the cargo area during lunch, out of curiosity I lifted at the plastic trim to see what's underneath...looks to be a bit of a nightmare, complete with electrical tape. The trailer hitch also has issues, the wires were cut on the hitch itself and a new end was wired in. I think I am just going to remove the hitch altogether (we have a suburban if I ever need to tow anything).
I'm not going to get a chance to check any of it out until this weekend since I will be out of town but I think I now know where to start. This is going to be annoying.
Thanks for the tips guys!
