Army Green thread: let’s keep it green!

You have to pull off the black plastic housing to access the lights. Then they just snap on.

 

Armed with two tools, a long skinny screwdriver ( which I never used ) and a small O ring “L” shaped hook remover. Sliding O ring tool between the housing and the front grill, depressing two tabs on top and the one on outside - The housing pulled away. Nothing broke. Installed the lens covers. Pushed the housing back on, making sure the tabs locked .... whew! Sometimes things go as planned. Cheers! & Again, Thank you.

 

Good morning all, very tired today. Had a visitor twice last night, first visit was at 1152, Golden going nuts then the Lab. Big black bear taking our trash up the hill. Got that cleaned up then at 0229 another visit but now the trash can is bungied (my mistake for not doing this earlier) so the bear can only throw the can around eventually with the dogs barking and using an air horn he went to the neighbors for a late night snack - LOL

Have a great day everyone

 

We have that problem from time to time. Last winter one breached the wire of our apiary and destroyed several hives. My electric fence had failed and I didn't realize it until it was too late.

Take a nap! We celebrated my first day of retirement with champagne in the hot tub. Heaven.

 

I watched this video for some help. https://youtu.be/IcgyoFej2i0

The guy pries off the bezel with a taped screwdriver.

I used the caveman method and yanked them off by hand. Worked fine for me.

Glad folks like you come here for questions... No toxicity here with team army green

 

Enjoy your retirement my friend! And thank you for your service to our great country.

 

Thanks for the Video- I edited my earlier post - stating that I used a O ring pick to accomplish the install. It was your post that gave me the confidence to look closer, analyze, execute the task. I am grateful for this AG community. *Caveman method - The staggering amount of destroyed parts from various projects from the past, Is proof I am familiar with that method. Cheers!

You earned it do enjoy the hell out of it

 

Needing an add a leaf to get rid of the squat while loaded with gear. What have you guys done if any of you have?

 

Show us pics when mounted!
What fab?

 

Hey there team AG,
Question for those with stock tires. Do you all keep your psi @ 30?

 

I keep mine at 30.

 

You bet!

Caliraisedled. I got to figure out a time to take off next week to run down there and pick them up.

Mine are 34-35 per the on-board system

 

Would you be able to elaborate more on what you mean by the on-board system? I just go based on what is on the side door panel. Despite the tires looking a little low (to me anyways)

thanks

 

Not in the truck atm, but on the gauge cluster display, you can use the right directional control to scroll through the menus. IIRC, the third menu to the right (two taps on the right arrow) and scroll through has the status of the pressure for all four tires. I haven't verified the accuracy of this readout.

 

Oh I see what you mean. I look at that all the time to gauge my tire status. How accurate do you think that is?

thanks

 

I haven't verified, but seems close enough for now. I need to get a good gauge (not that stupid little pen stick thing) anyway.

 

I run them at 34 psi for normal driving and about 24-26 when I go off road. New tires are next on the list but surprisingly the stock tires have worked very well on the off road trails.

 

New bit of bling for your grill is available. I ordered one in AG and will post pic when it arrives if you want to wait to see how it looks. I bought a red Metal TRD emblem when I got the truck but just didn't like the look of the red, plus to tighten it against the grill it would easily bend. So the red one is in my Box O' Unused and Disliked Parts.

Don't forget to apply the TW discount....like I did.

 

After 8.5k miles pounding pavement, finally got off the grid up in Vermont.
