    No, sorry. I used the longer bolts that were included but they weren't long enough to accomodate the 1/2" and 1/4". Only the 1/2", safely.

    Oil change @ 70,700. Collected oil sample to send out to Blackstone. This will be the 2nd report I'm having done. First one was clean at 52k. Been using 5w30 full syn Mobil1. I'll post up results once I get them.
    Also installed a new cabin filter and greased all fittings (as with every oil change).

    Nice. I was up to 7,500 as well but I haven't done a sample the last few oil changes so I haven't been going much past 6,000

    Replaced my broken AAL's with some Dakars. Obviously a huge difference coming from the TSB springs with a broken leaf to a nice new pack. Like driving a caddy now :)
    Also changed the rear diff fluid since I was back there. MT90 was used.
    79,470 miles on the truck.

    Ahh I almost forgot. I added an intake manifold spacer @ 78,974. Feels a little more perky. First two tanks of gas average out to be the same as before I put it on, so I'll reserve my opinion on whether it actually shows an increase or decrease in mpg.

    What kind of aal did you have? If toytec then that's the second broken one in nj this week.

    Nice build Chris. I caught that your wheels are 3 5/8" BS, but didn't see any mention of what offset they are. Will you let us know what the offset is on your wheels?
    Thanks.

    Thanks. Sorry I missed your question. I don't remember off the top of my head, so I will have to look when I'm back in NJ and have the receipts available to reference. I'll get back to you in a couple weeks :)

    Chris, did you used hub centric rings with your wheels to make them fit properly?
