    Are those the “seat savers” or the “precision fit”? I’ve been eyeing the Carhartt covers for months, just can’t decide which one.

    Sealed up my floor today. All that’s left is to fill up the trans with oil and mount my skids and then the swap is complete.

    Yep
    These are the Precision Fit. I thought about it for a long time as well and then I saw some that a friend had in his truck and pulled the trigger. They fit extremely well. The fit was very tight and the quality seems top-notch.

    Did you wrap the tape around the t-case shifter for a noise isolator?

    I did. I used sound deadener and wrapped it around it, and then some gorilla tape as well. It certainly won't hurt anything. We'll see if it helps though.

    Got it dirty today, and added some lights in driving beam a few days ago. Was concerned about the hood glare, but it doesn’t seem to be too bad for the short periods of time I’ve used them. Going to start working on my bussman box in the next few days so I can get rid of the harness that came with the lights. I installed the lights with the brackets facing opposite ways on each light to try to decide which way I like the brackets facing after a little while of living with them. Going to switch it to the way the driver side light is.B5DBF298-3732-4E89-9BF0-65A7FD543616.jpg

    Thanks! I thought it would look good when it gets dirty with all the dirt driving I do.E3A4E138-A89E-48C3-A92A-93570A6B0A14.jpg

    I have not and haven't ordered anything yet.
    I have my fender in the body shop awaiting paint, need to do that first.

    My old membership only towed up to 3 miles, kinda lame.

    The only thing I have used AAA for is to get some Euro when I went to Ireland and to exchange it when I got back.

    I didn't know they did currency exchange lol

    And for what I did today, I finally got around to replacing the blower resistor with the updated oem square plug resistor and pigtail in the hopes that it fixes it long term. Finally got tired of smacking the old resistor with a stick while driving. Wiring colors don't match up, but as with anything wiring on TW I was able to find trusty ole @caribe makaira wiring diagram and everything works perfectly. Link to his post here

    Scuffed up and painted a grill surround. Bought the grill off Ebay and apparently "in like new condition" on Ebay means 3 broken tabs:annoyed:, but it should still work fine.
    Installed Lambtek Innovations winch switch bracket and switch. Need to reroute and/or trim the cables a little, especially the one to the winch so it looks a little cleaner but I don't have the correct size ring terminals yet.

    Added a Supreme Suspensions sway bar drop kit and new Energy Suspension bushings - amazing how that little bit of maintenance completely did away with the floating body roll feeling I'd had since I added the 5100s and OME 884s up front.

    Did a little facelift over the weekend, headlight restore and a grille update. Fitment isn't that great, might be modding the orig one at some point.front1.jpg front2.jpg

    I don’t hear much tranny noise even driving around with the console out and mine is just bare metal over the tunnel where the e-brake cables exit. I get way more noise through the rear cab wall if that panel is off.
