    It's been a few years since I put a winch on the front of a gooseneck trailer I have. Can't recall brand names specifically, but, remember where I got my plugs for running power from truck to trailer. ...At a local fork lift repair shop....used for hooking up battery charger to fork lift....Just a thought...

    FWIW it's Shell gasoline... They're priced to make you think there's gold flakes in the fuel that will scrub your fuel system & make tiny unicorns fly out of your tailpipe. My friend's oil refinery in SoCal fills up Shell tankers...along with a half dozen other fuel wholesalers to deliver to the highest bidder, regardless of the name on the sign or the price on the board. It's free enterprise, they can charge what they want & try to justify it however they please...but they won't be blowing any of that smoke up my ass.

    I installed front coilovers from a 3rd gen sport with 3/8th spacers to bring my front end back up after installing my ARB bumper. I'm sitting about a 1/4in high in the front vs the rear. waiting for another day to install my wheelers progressive aal to complete this very mild lift. its sitting much better than before I installed the new coilovers, and hopefully the higher spring rate will control the brake dive im now getting from the bumper!

    Yeah. F the dealerships. Had some free oils changes and I gave up did it myself anyways. They needed the truck all day even with an appointment.

    I just changed out the leafs couple weeks ago myself. Jack/jack stands and a handful of tools and about 45 minutes of my time.

    Received my order of brackets/clips. ‘15 TRD pro headlights and TRS D2S retrokit in route. Already have the grill and on the hunt for a hood. Will try to write a how-to on 12-15 front end conversion in the next month or so.
