    Swapped my wife’s wheels and tires with mine to isolate a tire issue I’ve been chasing for too long. Finally figured it out. 85D86BAD-2CEA-406F-881A-2F08D8E84239.jpg I don’t hate the trail wheels but it’s hard to look past the tires after having 2 sets of grabber at’s. It makes my truck look like it has Prius tires on it. A91DED72-8136-43D4-A94B-BCAC0944AE52.jpgHer ride looks sweet though and she dosent want to give up the wheels now :annoyed:

    First Mileage milestone since purchase in May. My passenger's photography skills were superb. My 1st oil change will likely be tomorrow. Got the oil and filter yesterday.IMG_20201010_0850275.jpg

    Installed the aux fuse panel instead of having everything bolted to the the battery terminals to finally install the bed lights.

    Waiting for the ch4x4 front locker button to finish up and also wire a bed light switch in the bed area.

    No way do they stick to my clothing when exiting the truck lol. They anchor very well and fit like a glove. The material is almost wetsuit like. Super durable, very comfortable and easy to clean.

    Got a bath and moved the badges around a little bit. Looking at this now, I’ll probably inch the islands inside for symmetry

    You’ll be about a week late for the fall colors on the easter Sierra though. Made a couple stops on my way south and they were popping!

    Installed the S2 Pros in the ARB and took of the 32" Amazon bar. Going for a less cluttered look!

    I've decided to ditch my multiple relay/fuse blocks for one Bussmann 15400.
    Good thing I haven't made a hole in the Paranoid Fab panel.

    After installing my OME suspension lift and JBA upper control arm, I was getting a little rubbing with my 285s, so I did the cab mount chop. The shop wanted $250 but was booked for three weeks and I am headed wheeling next weekend. So, I bought a flux core welder and some steel and went to town. The welds aren't the prettiest things in the world but hey held up to a beating with a sledge hammer when I was forming the chop plate to the mount area. All in, probably cost me $350 and an afternoon, but in the end I got my CMC and a new welder for the price.

    I also added my Victory molle panels.

    This comes in small and smaller cans now.
    I used rattle can.
    When I went to use my last can of paint for the final coat I found out the little tube from the can into the spray nozzle was broke.
    Had to run to Lowes for another one, go two to be safe and I spotted these.

    Changed out 111,000 mile old SR5 shocks with some 2020 TRD OR takeoffs. Alignment tomorrow morning, but a quick run around the neighborhood and they sure do feel a lot nicer. 30A48428-4F09-4D4A-A274-137F64811D63.jpg4593CE90-7942-4636-B65E-0FDBC3404A60.jpg
