    Put about 700 miles on it in the last two days driving to and from upstate New York.

    Realized that the thump from the drivetrain is pretty bad when I eventually pulled off the highway and stopped at a light.
    Not sure if it's a bad driveshaft or something else. There is a TSB for replacing the driveshaft.

    I also found out that the truck doesn't like hills.

    You can buy cheaper or quality LEDs from many different sources. Ranging in price. But since your spending a couple bucks, why not buy a new set up? I've recently purchased these and love em. Only $20s. Just a thought :thumbsup:

    First oil change since buying the truck. So nice to be able to just crawl under the vehicle as opposed to jacking it up. 160k on the motor and only lost .5-1 quart of oil in 5500 miles, so thats a plus.

    Then almost got a free aluminum contractor cap but turned out it wouldn't quite fit my bed, but would fit my buddies tundra so he took it.

    Finished up making my behind the seat storage panels. I couldn't justify spending the $300 for full MOLLE laser cut aluminum panels (even though they look pretty nice).
    Bought two pieces of 24" x 24" x 1/4" ABS sheet and cut and bent as required. Works great for my needs. It's crazy how much room is behind the seats when you take out the OEM plastic "organizers"

    Changed the oil with my 6-year-old and adjusted my CB antenna. Found out my antenna tip cover was hurting SWR by .6-.7 taking my SWR from 1.25 to 1.9 or higher

    fixed my temp display, since it hadnt worked since I got the truck 2 weeks ago. Very easy and thanks to all the write ups here about it. I hate soldering and this was actually easy.
