    How was it 11 months? Most people seem to be getting theirs much sooner (4-8 months)

    Front window tint, some other stuff
    I'm not sure, he kept running into various delays. I ordered it back in January 2015, and it sounds like the operation has smoothed out a bit lately, so the wait time may be less now.

    Finally have my high beam indicator back. Bought one of those simulator things.

    I actually have an extra if anybody wants it. Was cheaper to buy two of the kind I got rather than one of the more expensive ones.

    Got my front Bud Built skid on as well as the crossmember for the belly skid. Had to trim the front skid a little bit where it bends under the subframe like others have had to do.

    Hoping the belly skid goes on without any issues tomorrow.

    I got it for $509.32 on Ebay. It's Dorman brand.

    Got rid of all the play I had in the drivetrain. Truck feels much more solid ever since I installed it.

    Got my Bud Built belly skids installed. Had one bolt give me trouble making it take forever to get lined up as you can tell by the boot print on the side of the skid... Haha

    And yes, I'm currently in the process of cleaning off the rust/dirt and coating the frame.

    It bolts to 4 holes (including the 3 that hold the emergency brake adjuster on) on the driver side, and it uses weld nuts into 3 holes already in the passenger side of the frame.

    Picked up a couple of used OEM cv's from a guy on here. So soon I'll finally replace my cv's that have had ripped inner boots for quite a while now.... :anonymous:

    Going to take apart my current cv's and see if they're still good. If they are, I'll reboot them and I'll a spare set of OEM cv's as backup :cool:

    Did the pvc washer reservoir mod and mounted some CBI ditch light mounts.

    Was finishing up loading everything in the truck for going off roading tomorrow and found out my air line for my CO2 tank has a hole in it... :annoyed:
