    I got it from 4 wheel parts. But Amazon sells them to. If you cant get a discount from 4 wheel its cheaper on amazon.

    I've had my truck about 18 mos, only got 12k miles, 99% on normal pavement, so I figured how dirty can my cabin air filter be? This is how dirty

    20170220_110415.jpg

    I think I might check it a bit more frequently. Lots of dirt clogging all the little folds, and it is not white

    Honeycomb composite sleeper platform.
    Ripped out the rear leaf springs for the 4th time.

    OEM with 1.5" AAL were great but would hit bump stops off road.
    Replaced with a 3" standard weight replacement packs and sat lower that OEM with 1.5" AAL. Noticed the frame rested on the upgraded bumpstomps as well.
    3" Heavy duty springs had the military wrap hitting the frame and the ass end is way up in the air.

    There's a wide open hole under the cowel that if you put some screen mesh in it, stops a lot of the big debris from getting in there.

    follow up: Espar install complete, phase 2 is integrating a cleaner location/install and getting solar panel on for passive charging of the AGM battery. Pretty stoked on this mod.

    Why not do the least permanent version, by just sticking a piece of electronical tape over the icon on the back side of the cluster face?

    battery just died. both costco and Sam's club don't have the 27F battery. battery died under the Sam's Club free 3 year replacement.

    Stuck with getting the 24F.

    ___

    FYI: THE 24F Sam's Club sells wont' fasten. I just checked it when I got home and it looks like the tech tried to fasten but gave up.

    I would have rather done it to a set of method NVs but I picked these wheels on Craigslist for cheap. Looks killer still!
