    Changed my rear diff and transfer case fluid to Lucas synthetic gear oil. Went to change the front diff and ended up stripping the drain bolt. Stupid me, argh! Just sitting at the dealer waiting for a new drain bolt.

    So far I've added an Advance folding bed cover and since removed it. Gave it to my son in Maine, he has an 05 2wd. GT perfect fit seat covers. Weathertech floor mats and window vent visors. Waag center brush/grill guard. Hose clamp tailgate mod. Turned off the seat belt chime. Added Ultra-Gauge. Trailer hitch. Softopper. Replaced sun visors with slide out style. Toyota bed extender. Had Firestone Destinations and now Michelin LTX AT2 in stock size. More mods to come; Fog lights, locking storage in bed, intermittent wipers. Now looking for Radio/HU upgrade. and maybe a lift way down the road.
    Tried teaching my girlfriends daughter to drive a stick. I think I lost a few thousand off my clutch too. I'm sure it's glazed a bit. Didn't know such an odor could come from a clutch. Oh Well....

    I added a couple fender washers under each of the front legsof my bench seat. It helped a little. I’ll add more soon. I also did the power always on to thecigarette lighters mod. While doing thatI thought of another approach for the clutch start switch problem where youhave to jam the clutch pedal into the carpet to engage that switch. I removed the relay and jumpered pins 3 and 5on the Start Relay socket in the Engine Compartment R/B. Now more clutch needed to start the car!

    Follow post #4 to the thread that contains a PDF with the locations.

    Piece of cake. Get decent grease (M1 synthetic grease) and a gun. M1 is pink. Keep pumping it in until you see the pink grease come out of the joints and you're done. Wipe clean, repeat on next zerk. Took 20 minutes. First time ever.

    In response to the questions about where I got my truck tent from:

    I didn't buy this one, it was given to me. I have seen them for sale at a lot of places such as: Bass Pro Shop and Gander Mountain. Also try autoanything.com, but the cheapest I have seen them selling for is on www.sportsmansguide.com

    Good Luck
