    This weekend I did some of the 30,000 mile maintenance:

    - changed engine oil
    - changed t-case oil
    - changed front diff oil
    - rotated the tires

    shit I didn't do:

    - spark plugs (have them just didn't get around to it)
    - air filter (have it and will replace when I do spark plugs)
    - torque the prop shaft
    - change the rear diff oil. There is still a small leak coming from the top of the diff so at some point I'm going to crack it open and reseal it. Since the oil is pretty new in there (replaced twice after diff swap) I figure I'm good to go for the time being and might as well save a couple bucks in oil.

    While I had the skids off I took the time to repaint them and I also primed/painted the spacer washers for my t-case skid.

    Bumper goes on tonight. Pictures to follow.

    Did you get a tire swing on the H/C? Or just base and keep the tire on your bed rack?

    Got the HC on yesterday. Super stoked on how it came out. Now I just need to work in a reinforcement piece so the fender doesn't flop around when I'm driving at speed. Cool thing is, if I take the reinforcement piece that was there and flip it upside down, I think I can just drill through the fender, add a bolt and be good to go.

    Obviously I also need to cut and put my fender flairs back on but I need to throw a ton of epoxy on the POS clips before I get them back on. Doubt it'll happen before camping this weekend since I'm out of town Wed-Sat but I'm aiming for the following week.
    Here are the pics

    I guess I'll let Eric cut on my truck ;):D

    One side down. Old bumper in the background.

    Now just need to get the flairs cut and put back on

    No swingout. I'm not a big fan of them, I think they make our truck look too long. I know, function > form but my bed rack works fine for camping, exploring, etc.

    And I like how clean this one looks without any extra jazz.

    Hey Matt, what rattle can would you reccomend for touching my new bumper up? There are just a couple areas I'd like to touch up before winter.

    Most of all, thanks man! Stoked
