    Did you just pull the panel under the seat, then pull the pump, and knock the dent out from the inside? I keep meaning to get around to that. :)

    Looks good Mike, I'm interested in hearing if they effect your mpg one direction or the other. Also, I hadn't seen the light bar you built into your bumper, nice work!

    Oh, and I'm amazed at the mpg Mike can get with his KOs. I can barely get 20mpg on the freeway, and I suspect it is because of the aggressive tread pattern on the Bighorns. The only other differences...

    I second Mike's recommendation to avoid pickle forks, every time I've used one it's been a pain and has damaged the boot. I like to keep my old parts as trail spares just in case.
