    Did the kicker tweeter mod, with free labor from the old man. Made a bigger difference than I thought.

    I have sound deadening, its just not how your's is. Its all inside of the panel, and in key areas. I'll eventually try and take it off and redo it properly. The sound deadening I have is still the best thing I did for my sound system imo

    Had a friend and excellent fabricator @GHOST SHIP install the Archive Garage hammer hangers today, as well as some minor fender trimming. He’s a great guy to hit up if your in the SoCal area and need quality work done. Thanks again Sergio!!

    Looks like the same ones I installed. Are they the Brock brand. I love mine but they were a bear to align. They were way off at installation.

    This little bastard decided it didn't want to give me the key back. One of the worst purchases I've made for the truck...

    I have one of these installed too and could tell from day 1 that it was far from a quality product.

    Ya, I felt the same way but wanted to believe they would work. I'm also super stoked I cut holes in both doors.. :facepalm:

    Are yours still working alright?

I was putting it off cause I didn’t want to deal with tight space under the supercharger on the driver side. But I’m glad I finally did it.. after 65k hard driving miles on these plugs 3 plugs with no electrodes on them but the plugs itself looks to be good

    I only installed one. Yes it's still working but the key certainly is pretty sloppy. I was going to do both doors but dropped the second lock and it blew apart into about 20 pieces when it hit the ground. If I hadn't already drilled the hole I might not have installed the second one at all.

    20211211_160638.jpg Bought a few things today. Only had enough time to change the air filter today. Might do plugs tomorrow after the engine cools down over night. Diffs, transfer case, and grease will be done on Tuesday or Wednesday because it is supposed to be in the mid 60s:eek:. This is all going to be a learning experience because other than the air filter and greasing it's going to be my first time doing anything like this. Also hit 180k this week:bananadance:

    Oh, okay. Thank you. I didnt want to not say anything if you were referring to me. It's not the most awesome build but it suits just about all my needs.
