    You could do both trails safely without a skid if you're careful, with the rain were supposed to get tonight/tomorrow though it might be a little sketchy but doable I bet

    Fuck that. I spent 30 minutes taking them off. I gotta touch up the paint on them, install fumoto valve and change oil. Hoping to get that done tomorrow. Got the front and rear diff and transfer case oils done today. And I need to get an alignment so I can put my LCA skids back on lol

    If it was closer then I'd say fuck it and at least put my front skid on. But it's almost 2 hours from me and I don't feel like driving there tomorrow lol. I'll just settle for watching football and doing maintenance work tomorrow instead.

    Carpeted platform for your long bed. Was given to me by @MotoEd but no longer need due to having RTT. It fits in between the wheel wells.

    I hate them. I finally got it off but the other drain plug for the filter housing is so tight I can't get it off. I'm going in tomorrow and bitching at them until they give me a new setup

    Never again. God damn idiots. The only thing I'll ever have them possibly do is the ATF change since it's sealed and supposedly a pain in the ass. But we'll see.

    That's what I did today. I'd make another Asian comment but I don't want to be reported again. So be creative and insert an Asian joke here

    Don't even let them do that, go to a real shop! My local dealer lost 2 of my lugs, let 4 lugs loose, left a oil catch can on the filter drain that was rubbing on my belt, made me jump through hoops to get my dash replaced after it started peeling under a year, ect, ect.......

    not worth it!

    It's crazy how completely useless the "qualified technicians" are at the dealerships.
