    Did you install new seat covers? It looks like the pull downs on the back rest aren't hog ringed down.

    I haven't finished the seat covers yet. Letting them breath and stretch a few days in this heat. Been too hot to mess with them the last few days anyway. Mostly need to finish the passenger fold flat seat. Driver side just needs a final pull and tuck.

    I have a couple strap wrenches, I got a 2 pack and the small one works perfect if I take the plastic over engine shroud off beforehand. I also hand tighten the new filter going on for next time. I tried my hand at a metal cap tool that goes over the filter but that striped the filter every time so I gave up on them.

    Something like this you can find at almost any hardware store pretty cheap.

    I actually use the K&N brand one for every 5000 mile change for the past 75000 miles. Not because it is "K&N brand" but because the have a 1" hexed top that I use a 1" socket to get it on and off. Very convenient believe me.

    So I’m in the middle of doing my spark plugs and I dropped one. Everything looks fine, threads aren’t damaged, little bit of dirt in the threads. Should I just clean it and put it in?

    Lots of bolt on chrome stuff
    886's on a DCLB. I'm having trouble with spring rate choice for the next one's, but I have lots of time before budget will allow the upgrade so I can think about for quite awhile! I run one of those low-profile "bumpers" aka winch mount, a winch with a synthetic line, as well as sliders and roof rack stuff that put a lil weight on the front axle. The 886s seem a bit much for that. However, when I throw the big steel skids on (1/4" engine skid and 3/16" mid and transfer case skid) it feels about right.

    I haven't been running the skids lately unless I'm going on a trip, mostly because they collect a lot of clay muck(summer)/snow(winter) and make it harder to keep things clean and rust-free. Repainting them is tiresome and I hate looking at rusty stuff. I'm going to have to just leave em on and deal with it or switch to aluminum though... Too much of an alignment difference switching back and forth.

    I'd like to upgrade to a full front bumper at some point which will change things again. Decisions are hard.

    Truck things
    A little before and after.... Took off the surf racks that came with the truck when I bought it and took off the fender flares. Second part wasn't exactly on purpose as I broke the tabs on of of them while working on my truck and decided to see how it looked without the rest. Its different but I kinda like it. Now I just have to figure out how to fill the holes.... Don't clown my truck I know its super dirty:(IMG_1490.jpg IMG_2109.jpg

    They both work, I'd ask for the larger D3 every time.

    Well just ended up walking to the autoparts store that's like 5 blocks away. Better to get a clean one than possibly mess anything up.
