David, the truck looks very cool. I bet it gets lots of looks now huh?? I
wouldn't worry about the dents, I just added to my scratch collection last
weekend and my friends think I'm crazy too, you're not alone.
By the way, any CA or NV DMLer's interested in a run to Tahoe?? I'm
thinking of 10-29 to 10-31 or 11-1-99. I'm heading up with some friends to
play on some parts of the Rubicon trail. Not the short wheelbase stuff yet,
I need to get my skid plates on first, but just going up to play that
weekend.

Thanks, my dealer thinks so also...even tho they just shake their heads when
they see me pull into the parking lot. I just tell them that dents add
character.

Yes, the 31's were already on...I am looking at going with 33's but am
thinking about what width to go with.

As the brake pads/shoes wear, there is more area that the fluid must
compensate for (calipers and slave cylinder). The fluid level will appear
to be dropping a little bit over time, but that is normal. Having to fill
it every two weeks is BAD.
Get it checked out ASAP.
