Ordered an Injector Pump Top Cap reseal kit, trying to get rid of the air intrusion/fuel leak issues.

Got the fuel leak sealed on the Injector Pump, and used the truck to grab a truckload of groceries and a used Freezer off a friend.

Finally got the marker lights working, and swapped an old headunit in...


Feels weird to have a radio in the truck now.

*Update: Tinted the windows*


Tinted the windows all myself, 35% tint with about an 8" brow up front that tapers to 11-12" on the sides.

Added a decal from OldBodyStyleFords on Instagram, and swapped on a set or Cooper Discover AT3 tires in the rear, after I had a blowout.

Grabbed a pic of my son, Miles in the seat with one of my hats

*Update* Replaced 2pc Fuel Filter with 1pc Filter

Swapped to a Carquest 86417 Fuel Filter (Wix 33417 Equivalent) and the Buffalo runs much smoother with a snappier throttle response.


New 1pc CarQuest #86417 Fuel Filter

Crap I found in the base of the old 2pc Fuel Filter.

Had to replace the Power Steering Belt the other day, about 11 months out of the previous generic belt.


Replaced with a Gates Green Steipwd Gatorback.



Cleaned up the White Buffalo, need to straighten that bumper put badly though.

Reinstalled the tonneau cover on the truck. Looking into doing a set of exhaust stacks and ring kit to allow both to be used.

Cleaned the inside of the truck, seriously contemplating a woodgrain set of arm rests, etc to accent the Saddle color

Getting ready to do Glowplugs, harness, etc., so I'll add that in the winter check list.

Found a Delta toolbox for $50. Definitely missing my rails, but needed dry storage on the truck. Still debating on sliding the toolbox back 8" and mounting my exhaust stack or do a normal exhaust out to the back.

Started cleaning it up

Almost finished patching the bed floor

Floor patch completely riveted in. I purposefully didn't use silicone, etc so that when i wash my truck I can wash away the dirt and crud.

Made a strap from some scrap metal I had to hold my propane torch tanks vertically.
