    Truck turned 60K on the way back so I finally got to use my super duper tool to change the spark plugs :D

    They look alright to me.

    The tool made quick work of the spark plug change. The only part that remains a bit of a pain is the coil wire on the frontmost driver side plug.
    I'll have to get a pro tip from @lotsoftoys or @thefatkid one of these days.

    Haha pro tip... do them everyday, you'll figure it out:D

    I just use my pocket screw driver to unlock the connector as I push it off. Takes about 2 seconds.

    The skid plate line cracked me up, and people get pissed off when we charge a little extra to do that... Fuck off in my book

    I'll try that next time if I remember...
    I did kind of the opposite. I used my thumb to unlock and put a flat blade screwdriver in the gap and twisted.

    Great build and great photography of some amazing scenic places that I hope I can go see one day. I also found humorous, wife's comments. Mine seems to make similar ones about our truck. :) Subbing along now.

    Thanks man! I use the "spray and pray" photography method. Take enough pictures and you're bound to get one or two decent ones :D
    I'm fortunate to live in a state where the scenery is so great.
    Re the wives: the best is when I get compliments at the gas station or a parking lot and she's with.. I just kind of look over and give her a smirk:devil:
    I'll have to check out your build.

    The best part is the extra dirt/mud that's collected on them and comes raining down on you when you remove them :thumbsup:

    Backup lights quit working....

    Finally started digging into that today.
    The lights themselves were fine. Turns out my wiring along the swingout was corroded.

    I'm betting it started when I submerged the corner of my truck on Escalator.
    Trying to strip back the wires, they're just coming apart in chunks (wire and insulation) so I guess I'll have to rewire that section. Maybe try some liquid tape or something instead of just electrical tape.

    While I was at it, I decided to get rid of those crappy conduit clamps I was mounting the lights with.
    For some reason, I had it in my head that I needed someone to weld some light tabs on for me.
    Decided instead to just drill and tap the swingout itself. Should work fine.
