    Yellow zinc'd lugs are easy. Extended thread, not so much. Seems to be the tuner crowd that supports it. Found a good set made by Gorilla.

    I tell people they have to get a "running start" with it to get it in reverse.Start to the right and slam it to the left. It's become second nature at this point for me at least.

    If you end up sending your set to be coated, let me know what they run. I might end up doing the same to my chrome Gorilla set.

    I changed the oil in my Front Diff, Rear Diff and transfer case. No stripping issues, soaked them with PB Blaster twice before getting started. Although I can see how someone could strip these shallow heads. Replaced all of my washers too. Had the nose up to drain, but leveled to fill. (Literally put a level on the bed rain) —-Someone really should have told me the worst Park was going to be pumping the oil back in, took forever!! it felt like!!!
    Also added a charger wired directly in and ran behind the dash up to my A pillar ram mount. Hope everyone had a great Labor Day weekend!!

    Scored a TRD OR wheel with a 265/75r16 tire for FREE.99. Makes next year's excursion into the great white north a little cheaper!

    Haha I know, made a total mess of the transfer case. Front and rear were less eventful.

    Built me a little something last weekend. Got it complete enough to take it wheeling. Still need to cut the sides a little higher and weld in bottom plates along with some more support structure for the wings.

    Better battery terminal ordered so I can close my hood fully again after the group 31 install, and Pro Eagle jack accessories and quick fists coming for an onboard jack mount.

    Oh there will be some mods all right
    They are the jba ucas made for a lift, non HD version.

    The tool kit is a generic ball joint tool set for all different types and sizes.
