    The post was about an oil change technician doing a transmission fluid change. Hence the 9.1 quarts versus 10.8 quarts of transmission fluid.:facepalm:

    And then we transition to the new factory worker, who received little training, missing the correct amount of fluid without the V6 badge.

    I thought the joke was well crafted, but I could see how alcohol and or weed, which is perfectly legal in this part of the country could cause one to miss it.:sorry:


    For those members who don’t change there own fluids or do their own maintenance,
    in case you didn’t know, you don’t need to lift the hood to change the transmission fluid.

    If you lift the hood for a transmission fluid change, you’re doing it wrong.:frusty:

    Also, if you didn’t know, there is no transmission dipstick in the engine compartment.:notsure:

    If you go back and check out the joke one more time, maybe you’ll get a chuckle out of it?:cheers:

    Finally edited my video of the 15 TRD Pro suspension and Headstrong AAL install. I focused more on the AAL since that's the hardest part of the entire install.

    And I would also hope that if a technician was hired, he/she would be smart enough to figure out what goes in the vehicle.

    I thought u were bustin my balls for copying the look but then I realized you were serious.
    yeah Im not spending the $400 lol. I liked the look of the ones I have seen that are raised letters and red and talked to @rrentrop and he had me measure my air box so he could make it proportionate and when I put the lines on I just staggered them. Plus I had him do them in cement.
    Real one......

    Next I want to find some wrap close to cement to put around tube lol.

    I like the bull bar. Not too busy. Where did you get it? I want one. Nice to have a little added protection in the front plus you can push something if need be I would think. I've been looking but have not found one as low profile as the one you have. Looks really nice. BTW, Is there a place to mount the front license plate if I get one? I think I need to have one here in Cali.

    I installed mine without the front weather stripping per a YouTube video.
    And you know, if it's on the internet it must be true! ;)
    I only have minor leakage issues when I wash the truck.

    Can you take a picture of how it sits by the cab? I'd possibly be interested in removing mine to make it sit flat, I don't like the ramp look at all and it bothers me. Have you tried to seal it with anything, or you just dont mind? I generally don't care if a little water gets in.

    Sure will. I'll post the picture today. I will say I didn't catch that you have the new X4 cover. Mine is the X2. Not sure what differs between the two but I will post a pic. :thumbsup:

    Thanks! Only difference is that my top is a matte black, I think everything else is the same, or close enough.
