    Had a major tune up done on friday and so far I think its cured the weird issues it had.
    Seemed to smooth out the acceleration and regained some lost power in 5th on the freeway.

    Replaced:
    front o2 sensor
    front diff fluid
    transfercase fluid
    transmission fluid
    rear diff fluid
    changed oil and filter
    replaced spark plugs with OEM Denso non iridium
    cleaned throttle body butterfly

    Still need to replace the rear o2 sensor but had to get a new crush gasket and hardware as the old stuff is heat and rusted on the bolts

    How did you manage a 4 inch suspension with 4x4? is it a drop bracket?

    I do not work at either, but wish I did since I spend a lot of time there. An employee discount would help.

    It's still a work in progress. I just finished redoing the interior (new carpet & racing seats & 2nd rear battery backup & onboard air system). I have more pictures that I could post if this is the thread for that.

    Purchased the truck 4 years ago with the lift already in place. Truck had been in storage for awhile till I could get the time to focus on it.
    The lift is a ProComp set up with a drop bracket

    few rigs ive seen with 3" body lifts actually looked good. Think it being blacked out helped blend in all the exposed frame.

    well thank you sir!
    I am looking for wheel well inserts or material to fill in the void at all 4 wheel wells. If anyone has suggestions or vendor suggestions, I would be more than happy to hear about it.

    speaking of 3" body lifts. I came across the chance to pick up this parts truck for about $250. Think i might just have to get. Its a blown up 2.7 and body and chassis is rusted but alot of good parts. A36F83FC-9A85-4D15-A1E9-7B57C9706584_zps_2f8a9059b0defcad36b889d711f79e1ffb85072d.jpg

    Pulled my OEM bedliner for the first time in 3 years, and it had a bunch of what looks like mulch, even though I've never hauled any. Also saw how nicely all that grinds the paint down to bare metal...

    The over-the-rail liner had to come out to properly fit the A.R.E. V-series cap I just picked up.

    Depends on your bedliner I guess. My over the rails type had rounded interior corners that wouldn't let the cap sit properly. I pulled mine and will just sell it with the trifold tonneau. Probably Line-X it or at least get a bed mat.

    Let the spending continue!

    ALL OF THEM!...Then some more.
    I thought the same thing when adam mounted his to the tail gate. But really. No very likely. The handle protects the valve. In a roll over, shits gonna hit the fan anyways.

    That is a terrible idea. CO2 displaces oxygen. A paint ball canister has enough co2 to fill the cab twice over. If it leaks, you're gonna have issues.

    oh and a seat belt holding down a bottle in a roll over is way worse off then the clamp bracket i have...seriously, get that thing out of the cab.

    bingo.
