    Today's mission is to replace the serpentine belt and its about time! Original belt with 85K miles on the '07 4.0 And install the Weathertech mud flaps after BluTaco gets a bath and a good vacuum!

    Thanks for the thread on installing the belt, its not that I haven't done it before on other vehicles like a Nissan Maxima which was easy cheesy AFTER I figured out removing the right front wheel and splash guard allowed access to the pulleys and tensioner.

    Eibach or EMU 882's with 5100's all the way around with a aal in the rear. Trail Gear bumpers and sliders are great for budget builds plus they're great products. I'm a 2wd with emu 882's with 5100's and I love the stance and height of the truck.

    Washed, waxed, scotchguard the interior and rainX'd all the glass. Close to 60°f here in New Jersey. I can get used to this global warming... Lol. (except for SuperStorm Sandy bull$hit)

    Placing my order for a full OME lift tomorrow (I hope).

    My wife applying the scotchGuard

    I have daffodils starting to shoot up out of the ground already. Only about 1.5-2 months early. I can handle that. I just live to close to the ocean to fully embrace climate change. I can shoot a bb gun and hit the bay.

    Installed a free Yello Top. A buddy of mine works at Advance Auto Parts, they had to take it off the shelf because of low CCAs. But, it turns the Taco over like nothing and still puts out 12.6 volts.. Score!!!

    Ha nah man it helps get a visual or the color. I think I may go ahead and do those and use my retro money on a lift!

    For sure man, definitely use that money toward suspension. What are you looking at for that? I've got OME setup, and love it!

    Thanks bud! I really like it. I used a full can of the dye, about 4-5 coats of the whole thing and it looks 10000x better than it did before
