    Tire rotation, oil change, driveshaft lube. That Fumoto valve is a game changer!

    Threw on a winch kill switch for when I am not using it. I also went ahead and threw some wire loom against the firewall to help clean up the engine bay per @EatSleepTacos recommendation. I was even able to find some paint matched loom lol.

    I used some small led bulbs from Amazon to add some ambient lighting along with some amber leds behind the climate control knobs.

    Now it’s time to wash this salt off and get to work on re-making some skids.

    Honestly never measured. They’re just the standard Fox 600lb coil off a Fox 2.5 coilover.

    Mostly stock with a few minor mods.
    Just a follow up report...the new PCV valve and cleaning the MAF sensor smoothed out the engine noticeably. Should have done it a while ago. I had a vibration in the dash and passenger door at 55 mph when overdrive kicked in and rpms dropped. Totally gone. The deep vibes I was feeling from the motor are gone. Worth it.

    Cool. I'm all about hoping the cheap fix works before going deeper. :) The PCV valve is often overlooked.

    Looks like the same as mine SDHQ milled terminals, good stuff, a little expensive but well worth it IMHO.

    Genuinely not trying to be patronizing I fully expect a basic typo I am guilty of my self frequently but...

    AMG is a Mercedes trim of performance.

    AGM is Advanced Glass Mat Technology in batteries.

    You'll love having an AGM battery and the voltage booster to go with it (that's actually why my meter is there in my pic I was just installing the HKB adjustable booster) also look 8nto upgrading your big 3(5) @deanosaurus makes a great kit.

    Just ordered the HKB (https://www.hkbelect.com/product/374-mk4-adjustable-alternator-voltage-booster-2013/) adjustable so, if needed, I could (in a pinch) swap to a lower voltage battery without pushing too much charge. Now I just have to order the X2Power 27F AGM from Batteries Plus Bulbs when I get closer to my R&R date. The 10% local pick up discount helps.
