    Got all but spark plugs done. I opened the hood and it's way to muddy to change the plugs in that condition. Drove 240 miles to Houston this afternoon and the manual transmission was way smoother than ever. Total was about 8 quarts to change the 2.7L manual transmission fluid, transfer case and both differentials.

    Replaced the OE battery on my 2012...it began to struggle a bit to start the truck last night so I figured it was time. Dealer told me that it needed replacement a year ago. Picked up a Duracell Ultra Gold 27F for $125 after tax. Couldn't justify the extra $165 for an Optima when the Duracell has a 3 year free replacement and 5 1/2 year pro-rated warranty.

    Everyone gets all these @HeadStrong Off-Road goodies with their orders, and I didn't even get a sticker with my lift! They are a great company to deal with, and Marie is always super helpful.

    Got new wheels, added some n-fab sliders/steps, and gave her a good wash.
    Next up, new a/t tires and do something about that chrome bumper and grill.

    Well don't fret TJ if you want to PM me your current address I can send a sticker to you. We were out off and on so it must have been one of the times we were out. I give shot glasses to my walk-ins since I can't really ship them out with the lift kits. :(

    I called and talked to him when I did it and told him exactly what I wanted and he delivered. I plan to buy the rest of my switches from them as they are very well made and look awesome.

    Got a stupid question and figured I'd post it here since it goes with the thread topic, sort of.

    What is the advantage of getting retro fits instead of keeping the oem headlights? Any advantage? Or is it just a looks thing?

    See a few for sale threads here and there, kinda pricey at least compared to Pro headlights for my year, so curious what everyone's thoughts/opinions are.

    Anyone seen my wallet?

    Much better light output. Period. The aesthetics are a bonus.

    I miss the articulating projectors in my BMW so much.

    For my 1 year of ownership I washed and vacuum out my truck. After the test drive it had 6 miles on the odometer, I traded in a 2012 Tacoma so there wasn't a need for a long test drive. Tonight when I got home and parked it and I took this, I know it's kind of sad but medical reasons keep me from enjoying it like it needs to be enjoyed.
