    You'll really hear the difference when you punch it hard. I don't do that often but sometimes will when the feeling strikes and I'm somewhere where that this doesn't cause flashing lights in my rear view mirror. Usually draws a head turn from those I pass, especially if they're in a convertible.

    The list is long but distinguished
    Added Icon RTX leaf springs in the option 1 configuration and Bilstein 6112's to the front (5th notch) & 5160's to the rear. Went up about 1.5" all the way around. Firm but not stiff; very comparable to stock ride quality.

    Did my first oil change on a 3rd gen since I ran out of services because I drive so much. I appreciate how accessible everything was but the dealer cranked on the torque for the filter housing the last time it was in so when I diverted every cell in my body to arm strength, I got it loose and punched something hard in the process. Literal blood, sweat, and tears.

    That is why I hate taking my truck in for service, something is always over torqued and getting leverage while laying underneath is such a pain in the ass.

    The process was no problem laying underneath otherwise. I'm on the more slender side at least so I had no trouble. But yes, when there's just way too much torque, being under that small space provides no advantage.

    Sounds like a knuckle buster for sure. I hope when it comes time for me to do mine I don't experience the same thing.
    I will be sure to wear a pair of gloves and be conscious of where my hands are when the time comes. I think I'll use an extension long enough to clear any potential contact points just to be sure.
    Would be nice if those doing oil changes were made to use a torque wrench when replacing the filter cover.
    Then again I've seen some use a torque wrench like it was a breaker bar so.......

    I was wearing Mechanix Wear gloves with padded fingers and knuckles. Unfortunately the padding only reached the front of the knuckles and stopped before the top. The top of my knuckle is completed exposed and was a perfect bullseye for something with great density.

    Damn its been a long time since I posted on here.
    Installed Victory 4x4 Sliders and roof rack, Have a Mobtown bed rack but removed it for winter. Got my truck wrapped for my new business and i'm about to pull the trigger on some Wildpeak A/TW3 tires and possibly some -10 offset Level 8 MK6 wheels if I can sell my stock wheels.20200123_161233.jpg
