I'm digging the white top. Mines black and the fiberglass is showing through in spots. I'm considering white bedliner on it.

Also, bedliner is usually rough, I'd think it would hold dirt

So without the "texture" I think it would be able to be hosed off OK.

They are relatively inexpensive when sourced from the web, if you're concerned it's fouled just go for the replacement.
Mine is a little more crusty on the inside, and very much more muddy on the outside. My concerns for mine is currently the outside air intake could be plugged more so than the sensor surface on the exhaust side. Internally there is a the roidium/zirconia platinum contraption which is much less prone to collect carbon than the shell. Making me running a little richer than it should, but I haven't really driven much since the plugs got cleaned.

Is that "New O² sensor?" As I do I need one, I have one or this is my new one?

Replaced it just cuz I'm at a almost 200k tune up
Just checking to make sure the carbon buildup is nothing to be worried about

ebay, I'll try to post the link when I get home
Turn signals and tail lights are great, running lights are from a second gen, they don't 100% line up with the grille unfortunately, didn't know that would happen

Note that, for some reason, the running lights trim sticks out more than the headlight surrounds. Not sure if a 2wd 87 had a different grille than a 86 4wd, but I would like to find a grille that matches either way

Nice ride!
I found the best way to deal with rust it to remove it.
I tried the POR and wasn't very happy with the results.
