Darn, the fuel tank in mine wasn't that bad when I had it off. Maybe yours sat for some years untouched?

Mostly lately on my end it's been maintenance; I put bolts in the roof stud holes, put silicone around them and have been spraying Fluid Film everywhere that's vulnerable to rust. I think I should replace a few brake lines too. Also changed the oil and filter to Shell T6 5w40 and another Amsoil EaO24. Mileage has likely dropped as the 0w40 was thinner even at operating temperature and now the vehicle feels like it's a little more restrained.

Hypermiling though, nothing much has happened. The biggest thing would be to put side skirting on but maybe I'll put some taller diameter tires on when I need a set.
