Maintenance while bed off?

Yes, the fill plug on the side.

Wouldn’t that be the only way?

Unless i was seeing things, theres a tube running from top of case then zip tied near left wheel and had a plug capped off

That would be the vent tube...

You must be registered for see images attach

The fill plug is the only way. If you remove the diff. cover, you won’t be able to fill it there. Superman could, he’s really fast!

Inspect / replace gas tank straps while bed is off

Maybe a simple one, but wash and wax the back of the cab. Years of road grime, rain, dirt, and whatever else has built up there and it normally can’t be cleaned as easily. A good wash/wax will go a long ways.

Make sure that fuel pump ground is squeaky clean. It'll never be easier to reach. I like to run a tap through the bolt hole to clean the threads.

Currently have my bed off and reading this is a godsend as i'm about to blast the frame. I was wondering if you happen to know what kind of tap you use for it? I have mainly metric taps and might have a hard time sourcing one locally
