Nice

 

I would have left everyone with OCD hanging....

 

Missing out on the pics of your shoes but am liking the wheels and tires-looks great!

 

@Deo taco

Why not a Factor 55 fairlead to match all that up front to match?

What kind of Warn winch is that..Zeon, VR EVO? I saw your past post saying EVO platinum so I'm a bit confused as i can't find a EVO platinum.

 

What?
I'm curious about the winch.

 

Applied some Dura Coating Technology (Dura Dressing) to my tires today. They claim it’s a permanent tire dressing that won’t throw tire shine all over your truck. Supposed to last anywhere from months to the entire life of the tire. We shall see. Just thought I’d share for anyone interested as well. If anyone has used this before let me know how it works(ed) out for you.

Today I made the glove box organizer more (more like actually) usable. The problem with the organizer and the glove box floor itself is that the plastic is super slippery. Not only does the stuff fall out when you open the glove box, but the organizer comes out when you pull something like the owners manual out. PITA.

I went to Harbor Freight and bought the $2.99 tool box liner. I cut pieces to fit the floor of the glove box and the add on shelf in the organizer. I also cut strips to glue onto the bottom of the organizer shelf. The organizer sits on the two flanges (for lack of a better term) of the glove box. Those strips are grippy enough to hold the organizer in place, but make the organizer easy to remove when it's time to change the cabin air filter.

I used Gorilla Glue Gel to attach everything and managed not to glue my fingers to the organizer. It was close though because that stuff sets really fast.

No pictures because I didn't want to glue my fingers to my smart phone, but if you have one of those organizers you know what I'm talking about.

 

Since my bed rack took away my Diamondback cleats, I made up for it today. Also got my 2 meter antenna mounted.

 

Pics of your fingers glued to your cell phone I would have paid for.

 

Installed the valves in my second head. I did the first head a few days ago and found that it was definitely easier with 4 hands instead of 2, especially since my sons fingers were smaller than my fat fingers. It took about 3 hours for each head since those tiny keepers kept popping off. The valve lifters and the rocker arms only took a few minutes and were a breeze. Stiegemeier is a company than many of the 2ng gen guys have used for the porting and polishing but their quote to me was $1400 for the porting and polishing and another $1000 for the removal and reinstalling of the valve train. I decided to do it all myself and while I may not get the 10-12% improvement in performance and efficiency that Stiegemeier claims I think I should get at least 7-8% improvement. If you could see up close the 6 exhaust valves all being directed to one exhaust port you could see why these heads are so restrictive.

 

Yes. Checked to make sure nothing underneath

 

Did the Cali Raised led light bar.

 

Sweet and subtle

 

How do you like it I'm going for the same combo

 

Well that sounds like a pain in the ass! Haha I’ll just keep plugging it in

 

Look like the edges are much better than my factory mats. I usually buy weatherec or husky to catch all of the snow melting of my boots. I will look at the max liners when it time to replace the factory mats.

 

Jelly your top half is all black. Mine is tan. my next big mod will be to paint/die all the upper trim parts and replace the headliner with black.

 

Link for the Dura Coating Technology? I hate that my tire shine throws it all over my freshly Waxed taco. (Even when I let it sit over night)
