    A wise auto tech once told me that if you were ever interested in buying X brand vehicle, drive around back to the staff lot and see what they are driving. I have yet for that advice to not pay off.

    What grade of gasoline do you guys put in your trucks? I've always been one of the overachiever 'premium always' guys but man is it breaking the bank lol.

    I ran 91 for a while, didn't do anything for me but paying 1.40 a liter was fun for a bit.

    OKAY - I know you're all sick of seeing it, but this is the final config in the truck. Now the fire extinguisher isn't a missile in the event of a collision and both it and the med pack can be reached from either passenger or driver seat, if you can't get the suicide doors opened for whatever reason. I need to get that birch deck built for the back.

    Also finally got my Yakima Q towers attached.

    Now working on where to mount the CB's firestik.

    No the SX isn't compatible with Apple but the OBDLink MX+ is.

    Installed new SPC light racing upper control arms! Ohhhhh they are nice. Marie at @HeadStrong Off-Road hooked it up and now I’m riding super smooth! It took just over 1.5 hours.

    Installed and hardwired a new dash cam. So much smaller and so many more features than my old Chinese one.

    What bolts did you use to attach the cross bars to the t slot? Reason I’m asking is in your pics it looks like Nylock . I’m sure it’s not or at least hope it’s not because what will stop someone from unbolting that and just taking the whole thing with them.
