    Went over to a friends house to Clay/wax the truck tonight, still looks like shit :D Truck was almost too long for the garage. I would like to buy a nice orbital and correct the paint but then I would have to take care of it.....

    But than my friends mom called and she had a flat so we drove out to help her. Pretty funny since I'm so used to it taking a good minute to fill up my tire, hers filled up unbelievably quick 10-35psi in seconds

    Also this Amazon prime is kicking my ass, bought something else today that will lead me to spending more money :goingcrazy:

    Thanks man, Im pretty happy with how my truck has turned out so far

    I stayed clear of it for a while, but honestly makes since for me since I move around so much hotel to hotel for work and a bunch of guys just use prime to get stuff to them since its hard to ship stuff unless it gets there within a couple of days incase we move hotel or whole different location.

    Prime is awesome, up here in AK buying tires locally sucks because they're always marked up, but with prime i can literally save about $70 per tire and still get free shipping, its pretty crazy, they've got everything you can imagine almost on Amazon

    Seriously, out of habit from the ARB I checked to see if it was actually filling after a couple of seconds and couldn't believe it was at 32psi already. I even disconnected and re checked it, makes me feel better about my lonely single compressor

    Thats awesome, gotta love saving money on tires

    Well almost a year later I've got a replacement tail light lol. The other worked just fine but the lens had a big cracked area with a hole that would always get water/snow/dust in it. But now ill have a spare light to play with (chrome removal)

    And 2 more boxes showed up with my body mounts and a decent air filter. Should get my CB spring today sometime so maybe I can knock out those items

    Got after it and took care of some of these parts.

    Started with the new tail light, heres the old one thats been collecting just about everything inside
    [​IMG]IMG_2526 by Chandler Coe, on Flickr
    That new new
    [​IMG]IMG_2527 by Chandler Coe, on Flickr
    Cant forget to make the broke one even worse while pulling it out lol
    [​IMG]IMG_2533 by Chandler Coe, on Flickr
    No one cares what it looks like afterwards, so heres a picture of my new filter. Feels good, maybe ill even get a slight boost in mpg
    [​IMG]IMG_2536 by Chandler Coe, on Flickr
    Now onto the fun stuff, I only did the radiator mounts tonight since I really wanted to see if their was any truth behind the factory bushings being garbage

    Heres what they look like, they are sitting upside down in the picture if your using this as a reference also small washer up top, big on the bottom.
    [​IMG]IMG_2538 by Chandler Coe, on Flickr
    Factory bushings are squished and look to be worn.
    [​IMG]IMG_2540 by Chandler Coe, on Flickr
    And heres what they look like
    [​IMG]IMG_2541 by Chandler Coe, on Flickr
    [​IMG]IMG_2542 by Chandler Coe, on Flickr

    Mind you I did not pry them out, thats what they actually look like. 2014 truck/58k miles, this is why you replace them. Took the truck out for a little test and its surprising how much slop those little bushings can add.

    Also tried putting my hood hinge antenna mount together and looks like I need one of the low profile mounts since the L connector rubs the plastic molding at the bottom of the windshield. No biggie
