    No I already did the Grey Wire Mod, and love it. I was told its a "blue wire" maybe? All I know is that it is a 2 lo mod, that when you are in 4 lo and hit a switch which one installs, makes it a 2 lo; unlocking the front.

    Thanks for your help though! Any other thoughts?

    Got the tires balanced...again.

    Cleaned out a winter's worth of crud from the leaf springs so I can lube them and stop the squeaks. 3/4 of the way through a blizzard hit...now I'm soaked and freezing! :goingcrazy:

    Tomorrow (or when I regain feeling to my extremities):
    Pre-drill the holes in my fender flares so I can drop them off to get painted first thing next week.

    No mods... bone stock
    Realized just how weak the stock tail gates are. Apparently when you drop a 100# tote on it (closed tailgate) they tend to crinkle a little bit.

    Maybe this is a sign that I need a new walk-in camper shell?

    Replced all the steering rack rubber with poly bushings. Anyone who says this is an easy mod, is better at this stuff than I am... This was a real challenge. :D That center bolt is a bitch!

    Also disconnected the swaybar. Definite difference.

    Changed the Rear Differential fluid with Royal Purple, chopped the exhaust just after the axle, polished the headlights and tails, and gave her a nice bath. :D (Sorry no pics. It got to dark outside.)

    Installed Bilisteins 5100s up front. Installed new ball joints. Half way thru installing ebrake cable - wrong size - fuck. Bled brakes again.

    Removed front wheel spacers and got an alignment done.

    The most noticeable change has to be a result of disconnecting the swaybar. Now potholes are side specific. Kinda like it. Have not noticed any difference in the steering.
