    Good to know. I thought I remembered seeing a coupon awhile back. I think we can all agree this truck hurts the ol wallet! Worth it though!

    Also, I see you have some BD fogs.. I won some PIAA ones awhile back, but having a hard time installing. How did you get in behind the bumper down to the fogs? Can't seem to get enough room to get in there. And did you wire them to the factory fog wire so they turn on whenever you turn the fogs on the light stalk?

    I unbolted and unclipped the front side of the inner plastic wheel-well and moved it out of the way - only on the passenger side. For the drive side there was enough room to access everything from the engine bay. Baja Designs make a plug and play kit so yes it's wired to the factory fog switch.

    No beer was wasted during this endeavor. Truck washed and food prepared and not a drop spilled, lol.

    Had the Lite in the garage fridge.....the other was inside. Kept reloading from wherever I was at the moment.




    I've compared the lid therm to a pit/meat digital remote therm and it is close enough for reference.

    Worked out way better than my rushed pics, lol.

    Made a batch of mashed potatoes.

    It really wasn't something I used much until I bought this Slow'n'Seer basket for more use as a smoker. Then I began using my Maverick remote therm along with it. Turns out to be fairly accurate below 300 degrees.

    Took my truck in for its 25K maintenance service while also having them look at my heater. Got in my truck and turned the heat on and the blower was making this horrible noise. Come to find out that the blower motor cage was broken. Cost $150.70 to get it repaired. Thank god for warranty.

    Picked up a 40" Westin Lightbar on Amazon for $179.46. I have a Prinsu Rack so I needed and wanted a Single Row of Lights instead of a Dual Row to keep the low profile look and to keep it below the bars above. I installed it today up on the rack to get an idea of how it looks. My only complaint it the wiring harness as it will need some bit of modification to it to make it work so it will fit in the channel on the side of the window. I am not sure if any wiring harness is perfect but I am so I'm going to have to make it perfect as well. I hate being anal but I guess being a Virgo is part of my virtue and drive my wife a bit nuts too. I have heard so many people say that they have had their lightbar stolen so I did not want to go high end but also I was wondering what I could do a bit better to make sure this does not happen to me as well. One other thing I wanted to do was install a Cali-Raised bolt on Relay holder but unfortunately I have a manual Transmission which does not allow me to install this as I have a brake fluid reservoir where this is to be bolted.... real big bummer there. Anyway I will keep you all posted on the install...
