    I put a Detroit True Trac in my sport to replace my worn factory LSD. Great performance for on-road and 98% of the Forest Service conditions I hit. Works very well in the snow. Very predictable and consistent.

    I added a bolt once...
    2014 Double Cab, OEM Entune Double DIN HU

    Installed Infinity Reference speakers front and back. Left tweeters and just replaced the 6x9 front (two way) and 6.5" rear (two way). Will most likely replace HU with Apple Car Play and Android in the future to get some more boom.

    Decent upgrade though.

    Not today but last weekend. Changed my front wheel bearings/hubs. It was not a very fun experience. My hand still hurts from the slide hammer. :curls:

    No idea why but changed the plugs. They look new!

    Very happy with the combustion patterns in all the cylinders. 20200319_171457.jpg 20200319_171602.jpg

    Shoot the leftovers with 3M Adhesive Remover. Fortunately no fading in my paint nor shadowing

    Going through my stuff to see what I'm going to put up for sale, stay tuned.

    I ordered another 6 relay box (wish they made one bigger). I also ordered a remote start (Viper 4115V).
    I went to the dealership and ordered a connector and "Hi" tone horn. My truck only came with the "Lo" tone horn (base, reg. cab) so I'll be adding the other one this weekend if it arrives tomorrow.

    I also bought the Garmin parking mode cable (around $30). It’s got an inline transformer and I just used add-a-circuit fuse taps to connect the wires in an appropriate manner.

    I used a multimeter and found, at least on my 2015, the PWR OUTLET has constant power and the BACKUP LP gets powered as accessory power comes on.

    Definitely not phishing for complements...sounds like your just mad you cant afford a 1300$ front bumper so you hate on those that have them to make yourself feel like you dont want one. Thanks for a waste of a reply

    Since I'm temporarily "working" from home with this social distancing CDC stuff. I cut some extra plywood to make a small platform for the bed and starting mocking up gear location to add tie down points.
