If you got time I would check the fuel line in the tank, the rubber hose is only held on by clamps. It could come loose or rot.

I drove mine to and from work cussing a lot. I'm pretty sure I've got a bad pulley because it's squealing like mad. Pretty sure it's the AC because it isn't constant but starts when I turn the AC on. Really sucks because I won't have my tools here until after the fourth of July. Crap.
Your welcome to come to my house and use my tools if you would like, just let me know, im always available and about 35min from you.

And today I.... Well I drove back and forth to work and tightened the pulley jack screw a little bit.
I then sat and got jealous about that Rubicon wheel score, lol.

Fixed a dent in the rear liftgate so now it opens without having to use one hand to push down on the back. Also repaired my trailer wiring harness that got ripped off when I underestimated the departure angle 
. Gave it a much needed bath and vacuumed up the interior.

fixed all of my "highschool wiring" --ALL DAY PROJECT!!
It was perfectly safe before. Just really messing... REALLY MESSY! and wires running everywhere in the engine and under the dash
so i took everything out and re did it all!!!
lots of shrink wrap and lots of time spent making everything neat.
I took a 6ga cable and routed it into the cab. Then i took everything needing power and attached it all to a bolt. and put it into a project box to keep it a neat and that way i dont have any wires under the hood.

Mounted a fire extinguisher, kinda chincy though.
I wish I had a real garage with an electrical outlet and stuff so I could drill some holes and mount it somewhere else, but I'll have to wait till I have some time to go over to the folk's place.
Would have installed my quick discos too, but my limited tools came up a little short, so another thing that'll wait a bit.
Also, I bought one of the factory cup holders off amazon or something, and it totally doesn't fit. Mines an '89, an I don't know what year the cup holder is for, but I thought it was a one size fits all type deal. For one, my center console wouldn't close anymore, and also if I pulled the ebrake up, it pulled the cup holder up.
