got the 4wd switch in, 4wd works great now, i also started dropping fluids.  turns out the rear diff has a limited slip already, looks like my mall crawler is going to be climbing all the way up the stairs  

.  I'm going to pull the brakes apart in a few to see how they look, and the time to rip out the fuel filler.  Napa sells fuel filler hose in 3 foot sections.  Looks like i'm just patching it for now 

.  got the plugs changed thing runs like a champ now!!
