Intelligent humans use jack stands

 

Meso dual interior lights

 

My wife is a lot happier when I have them on red switching from all whites. She said the all whites were way too bright.

 

I kind of agree with her, but the stocks were too dim.

 

New fob, because why not.

 

Changed the oil and filter. Detailed the interior. Getting ready to drive New Hampshire to Florida Round trip over the Thanksgiving holiday. Picking up a topper and prinsu rack in Jacksonville.

 

Hope you're getting a great deal. NYC - Washington DC is going to be a nightmare to drive through

 

Getting a great deal. I am leaving Thursday night at 5 and driving overnight straight through. Traffic should be ok overnight. I usually take a western route down through Penn and then cut back east. This misses NYC and NJ Trnpk and DC

 

Smart guy. Once ya hit md. Start angling back.

 

That's a cool roadtrip

 

not goose gear, the member on here custom makes them as a kit and you build them. I forgot the user but he's still making them

 

Didn't even hit 5K miles on the clock before I took the OEM Off Road wheels off. 265/70/17 on Fifteen52 Analogs.

 

So I've been holding out for Clazzio seat covers, but decided I'd take a chance in 250 dollar lucky man club covers off Amazon. I think for a quarter of the price it was a good buy. Fit and finish is nice, install was pretty easy, and they look and feel like leather.

 

New paint match bumper caps to replace the chrome + Ecoological shells I’ve been using a few months, and then cut in a set of Rigid SR-Q pro flood-diffused backup lights.

Haven’t wired them up but they are super bright. I used them before in one of my old trucks and they are awesome. The messy garage pic is from last night where I only had one light installed.

Right now they are wired up to @daveeasa disable in reverse harness, which feeds them power off of the parking lamp circuit when parking lights are on, and truck is in R. I actually like that because they aren’t needlessly on in the middle of the day in reverse. Only additional function I wish to have and will eventually add is the ability to manually turn on when I want, and to disable in reverse so I don’t always HAVE to have them on. But that’s a future project when I have more time. At least they’re on and functional for now.

 

Did some de-badging today. Removed the TRD 4x4 decals, the V6 and the weather tech bug deflector.

 

Did the adorable child come free with purchase?

 

No, just a full diaper

 

Ahhh those were the days.

 

Removed the visor stickers. From forum ideas, used heat gun and needle nose pliers to carefully+slowly pull off decal (yes, left the pouch). Very light remnants - used a small drop of dish soap and scrubbed area. Sprayed with Goo Gone and let it sit. Used heat gun (on high very carefully) to 'steam' the Goo Gone, scrub with toothbrush, and wipe with microfiber cloth - you may need additional passes. Passenger side (final pic) still has slight remnants. May sound like a lot in writing, but not really if this is something for you. Go slow and very carefully with the heat...

 

I was thinking something along the same lines.
