    Took the front end apart to do a few things.
    - new headlights (had a ton of condensation in one)
    -larger transmission cooler
    -cab mount bushings
    -steering lines

    looking forward to doing the bushings, they’re all pretty bad. This is the drivers side radiator one

    Nice. I did my radiator core support bushings in the fall. The stock ones looked awful, like yours. My bushings under the cab were fine though

    Solid plan. I also bought the poly kit, but I ended up doing a cab mount relocation on the front cab mounts and that kit came with it's own bushings. So far I haven't gotten around to doing the rear ones. One day, though!

    I moved my ARB twin air compressor over to the other side of the engine bay using the Slee Offroad mounting bracket. Install was easy and took a couple of hours.
    I moved it over from a custom stainless steel mount bracket I made in order to make some room for a power panel.

    Maybe they didn't put them on the 3rd gens...Ours is an '07 AC...those cubbies ended up being too far forward for easy access. We are going with the rear covered storage area instead...closer to the tailgate...bolt holes already there. No additional drilling into the bed wall. :thumbsup:

    Received 5 of these in the mail today so I made an appointment to get TPMS sensors from my stockers moved over then mount and balance the new shoes.

    Pulled up a bunch of plastic panels. Ran some wire. Ended up with a factory-ish plug for my fridge:

    Did you run the wires into the cab, under the door sills and out into the back or did you run it under the cab on the outside then up through one of the rubber grommets? That's sick looking!
