    The magnetic tray not as issue for me. I have my own tray that I use.

    I wouldn’t let that deter you. In fact, if I could do it again I would order it without one and just bring out the free Harbor Freight magnetic tray and plop it down when I needed it. I rarely use the tray and it does not fit perfect. Plus the magnet is not super strong.

    Actually I believe the grills are slightly different in the way they mount. If you look at the two versions the older will not fit on the 12-15 grill. Probably some slight changes in the facelift.

    That looks surprisingly good with the steel wheels! I almost like those more than the alloys I’m running.

    20190903_201650.jpg 20190903_201640.jpg 20190903_214029.jpg New wheel bearings, Callahan rotors and new pads with hardware and double chatter springs. Old bearings were very noisy and I had brake fade, which I've read on here could be caused by worn bearings. My rotors were warped and the pads were wearing funny.

    Edit: yes I had jackstands under the truck.

    They were easy. I replaced the whole hub and I have a pre runner. Doing the whole hub it was 4 bolt that hold it on and I didn't have a axle to mess with.

    I just changed out my spark plugs too! By chance, did your truck not start the first couple times immediately after replacing the spark plugs? Cause mine didn't and I almost sharted my pants. I thought I broke something

    The engine usually doesn’t stay on the first time you turn the key, if you removed the negative terminal

    I made a version2 of the carling switch panel that I designed up the other day. I wasn’t entirely satisfied with the amount of mounting surface the first one had so designed the V2 with more surface area. Turned out great and does the job just right.

    I just did mine in my driveway last week. 154k on the truck and I was able to do each side in about 1.5 hours, including fussing with a few stubborn bolts. keeping the axle perfectly level (use a jack under the control arm) helps it free up when pounding on the stub. 2 lb hammer smacks to a pointed bolt in the center of the axle freed the axles pretty easily.
