    Nothing that special, but I installed a voltmeter USB port and fixed the ground on my dome light for "on" when door opens.

    It's nice these days having BS little things to do instead of the major repairs! Knock on wood.

    ALL OF THEM!...Then some more.

    Looks fun. Except you can't get new ones now right?




    Also was it more fun to do that or drive down a trail with no coilover? Lol

    Looking back on it, it was great fun but wow, it was a lot of effort. That emoji is definitely fitting.

    Out of curiosity (because there was a thread on here about this happening to someone else) I looked to see if the coil buckets were still available. The passenger side buckets were clearly out of stock everywhere but it looked like it was still possible to get the driver side one.

    Well you were there so you know exactly how challenging it was to get the truck off of Antero. Then of course there was getting it safely home from there. Towing it that1300 miles to home was an adventure all in itself.

    Ended up going with lunar rock paint on the truck, I’ll post more after pictures soon. Few more final touches here and there to add and maybe some new headlights/taillights but it’s coming together well. The next goal is complete suspension replacement.
