Welp.....Seems the gods aren't too happy with me.....Here is a rundown of my day, and what all I did, and will now have to do....

-Removed the tint from the gauge cluster (Too dark for the daytime...)
-Removed/cleaned the IAC...It was NASTY....
-Added a set of wire seperators to the plug wires....Makes it all nice an neat....
-Made the decision, that with the exception of my Oil Pressure/Voltmeter Gauges, everything is going back stock......

Now, the needs.....
-Alternator-Mine crapped out and had to have dad follow me home and keep recharging my battery....UGH Bad times...
-Bumper-******* hit my bumper while drunk on his ATV....I told dad that the next time I see him, I'll let him know what he did...

So yeah...Bad times...

On a good note...I picked a gallon of Blackberries while at work....:-X22

Installed a new flasher in the fuse panel figured out the fuse wasn’t installed for the turn signals, put a fuse in and they all work good. Hung the new step bumper with new hardware. I still need to position it correctly.

put the "no load flasher" into my flasher location and put the 522 green flasher where the silver 522 hazard flasher was so the 4 ways flash more slowly and the LEDS to not burn out :)

Absolutely! There's a thread floating around here somewhere that's had some activity lately. There's a vacuum line going into a valve near the firewall/fenderwell on the passenger side that is usually a culprit for that exact issue. It's a white line and it usually breaks at the plastic bracket on the valve. Check there and see if you have a vacuum leak at that spot. You most likely will. Just replace it with some vacuum line and see if that plastic piece is broken and that the valve moves freely by hand and you'll most likely have front vents again. Hope this helps!

Those look too short to me. Take a look at Jason's truck. I think what he has is perfect for side exit. Also, those ones your uncle has are weird looking and look like the go with some hardcore off road rig or something.
