    Starting to put the door harness together for my power mirrors.
    This one is for the drivers door. It's a 6 pin connector and uses the same terminals as the speaker wires currently in the truck. I was going to put the speaker wires into this connector but decided to leave them alone.
    If I ever need to add anything (mirror defogger, signal light, etc), I have three terminals empty.

    Instead of the double nut on the axle tube U bolt I got fine thread rod coupling nuts. Combined with a lock washer they stay tight.E899CFC6-DFAF-4229-A0DF-60F5B2C1D5E6.jpg

    Finally got a flat place to set my beers! Aside from the ac knob mod, this is the 2nd easiest to do. Took all of 5 mins. 20200809_161346.jpg

    Yep, I’m pretty sure the only memory is via SD card. I bought through Blackboxmycar, so I had the option of buying without an SD card.

    Replaced cabin filter, did oil change with oversized m1-209a filter, cleaned air filter and hosed down the engine bay.

    Also tidied up the interior, pulled dent out of sub grille and since I had that opened up, cleaned off the sub.

    Now I just need to drop it off in the morning for tire rotation and it'll be set until winter

    Me too! Luckily some guy wanted his OR to look like a Pro, so I scooped up the wheels and almost new BFG’s for cheap!
    I’m digging the long bed ride too for sure. Maybe will be doing some other front end rebuilding when I do the bearing replacement, but that depends on what other TW’ers are selling.

    Almost forgot the reason I started working on my truck this weekend in the first place, I used the ol dryer sheet trick to get all the bug marks off the windshield, side mirrors and grille. Then went around and cleaned the windows and got all the wet nose marks off the inside of the windows with glass cleaner.

    Finished up my shackle flip, shock relocate and beadlock install this weekend. Used ford shock towers, boostwerks engineering XJ shackles, made my own shackle flip and some Bilstein 5125s 14". Still stock leafs for now and I removed the overload. It cost me about $400 for everything.

    Then I got some kmc km229 machete crawl 17x9 -38 beadlocks.
