    If they had this style for 12’-15’ when I did my Satoshi mod I’d have opted for it instead. Mine is more ... unique is not wrong but at least fitment is spot on and I went to the trouble of heat molding it into a 3D shape.

    That’s surprising. I used to have a solid shifter for the tranny and it was noisy as hell. Maybe it’s because mines older with 215k miles on the tranny.

    Well, finally taking my truck in for some diagnostics on the A/C. For over two years now i would randomly get the blinking A/C light. Like once every three months random. I would just turn it off, then back on and all would be normal... A/C would blow cold. I replaced the relay that is a common issue but that didn't fix anything. Finally, the other day the A/C light stayed on but wouldn't blow cold at all. Think its time to have a professional look at it. Hopefully just an evacuation and refill.

    I don’t even have any carpet there, just the 2”yoke that connected the 2 sides behind the stick and even that’s gone now. The console only covers about a 1” lip of carpet around the perimeter.

    Retightened all the loose door lock shit. Replaced the rusty passenger side bolt going through my sliders and frame into the rear crossmember. Had the local 4WD shop airhammer out the bolt and welded nut with a broken head on the other side, and replace it with a new nut and bolt. Fixed a leak in my exhaust that the shop owner pointed out to me, which I had thought was elsewhere on the line.

    Replaced the brake soft lines with some braided steel ones. Didn't lose too much fluid on the install and bleeding was a breeze with the wifey helping in the driver's seat.

    Pedal is nice and firm now.

    Finally installed my Renogy battery monitor in my rear seat delete storage platform that I have been working on in my spare time during this whole covid thing. It monitors my secondary that powers almost everything aftermarket that's been added to the truck.
    Neat little unit and should be even more useful once I get solar installed.

    Don't know the P/N off the top of my head but I believe it was whatever P/N people recommended off TW who had similar issues.

    I added a bolt once...
    my 4x4 paint was fading so I removed the mud flaps and gave everything a good wash. Removed the paint and left them black.
    Also taped off the area and shot the last two feet of the exhaust a satin black, Rustoleum BBQ paint.

    Took it out camping on the California coast.

    Used it as a shield against the winds when we would sit at the table.
