Did an oil change today.

Was excited as I was about to use my Fumoto valve for the first time. They claim that you don't get any oil on your hands.

- nosed truck into garage
- placed oil catch pan on floor under truck
- opened the Fumoto valve... worked great, as I didn't get a spec of oil on my hands while draining the oil pan.
- placed an empty water bottle under the oil filter catch tray drain and started to remove the filter
- forgot to remove the black drain cap and the filter tray almost overflowed
- screwed the filter back down (then wiped oil off my hands)
- removed the black cap, but it fell into the bottle (I thought it fell on the floor)
- wiped some more oil off my hands
- removed the filter and let it drain into the bottle
- put a thin film of oil on the filter gasket and replaced filter
- wiped the fucking oil off my hands
- closed the Fumoto valve and replaced the oil
- checked oil and backed truck out of the garage
- drained used oil back into the jug
- looked for that little bastard cap
- realized that the water bottle was still under the hood with the little black cap in it
- retrieved water bottle and slowly poured out the oil into the jug
- fucking filter catch drain cap slipped through my oily fingers and fell back into the fucking jug
- wiped more fucking oil off my hands
- poured the used oil and little fucking black cap out of the jug back into the oil catch pan
- fished the MF cap out of the oil catch pan
- wiped MF oil off my fucking hands again
- reinstalled the little bastard cap
- wiped more go**amn fucking oil off my hands
- went back to the garage and poured the fucking used oil out of the fucking catch pan back into the go**damn jug again
- brought the MF catch pan to the back of the garage
- as I came around the corner (wiping my hands of course) to go back into the fucking garage, I kicked the go**amn MF open jug that my wife moved onto the gravel driveway while I was out back
- wiped up and closed the fucking jug, wiped fucking oil off my hands, poured a cup of gasoline on the fucking spilled oil, set that afire, walked over to the truck, removed the little MF go**amn black cap and threw it into the bush

... smiled, and wiped the oil off my hands.

Fuck you, Fumoto.

They're AVS. They came with the truck and I can't complain.

Very easy. Just remove the door panel and mirror. Run one wire on each side into the cab and to the fuse panel. Tap your ground wire into the window switch ground on each side. Replace door panel, sit back and enjoy.

The 2012+ mirrors are different than the 05-11 so they're not interchangeable. You can get eBay knockoffs for about $140 but I've heard they're made cheaply and shake at speed. I got mine from the dealership

Damm, I don't want shitty knockoffs that are going to shake.

I have the weathertech ones. Only reason I went with those over the AVS is the AVS were damaged when I received them from Amazon. Heard a lot of people having the same problem so I went with WT. Other than price, I don't think there's much difference.

cseaman · Oct 4, 2015

alignment after the baby lift last week + pulled the fake ass silver bolts from the wheels

InTheRough · Oct 4, 2015

I was running my 2/0 wire for my additional battery setup so I thought I would do a big 3 mod while I was at it and install the yellowtop. I can't wait for the Skygear RFRM so I can finish cleaning up my messy wiring for the random accessories.
