    Eliminated the rub from my new 285/70/17 KO2's on stock suspension and wheels with -12 offset.

    Did a little trimming of the front bumper cover and relocated the fender liner bolt forward a bit.

    despite it being 1 am, and a dust storm rolling through, i decided to mount up the BD Squadron SAE's to see how well selective yellow cuts through dust/fog by taking it for a night run. im really surprised. Makes me want to get a nice little 20" in all selective yellow behind the lower bumper

    since i installed my new fogs, i figured i'd at least mount my ditch lights too. can't wait for my switch pro's bracket to come in. odd that SDHQ takes so long to ship stuff considering im in the same state.

    Got my PowerTrays delivered today, and mounted my Switch Pro SP-9100 module to it.



    Dropped the truck off at an interior shop to install my LeatherSeats.com car seats FINALLY. i've had these seat covers sitting in my dining room for 3.5 months waiting for an opening to get in. Looking forward to that nice perforated leather in the truck, classing it up a bit. :)

    Once the truck is done, i'll likely be installing the power tray bracket, the two high amp circuit breakers, and re-wire all of my powered accessories to the terminal on the tray.

    Finally got my LeatherSeats.com seat covers in! Craig's Custom Upholstery in phx did a bang up job. These things fit like factory. The seats seem a lot softer now too. Not too squishy, but almost as if there was a layer of memory foam added to em, even though they're stock pads.

    I went with the LeatherSeats.com 100% Ecstasy Leather kits, with perforated Charcoal bodies and Black panels, and charcoal contrast stitching.



    Since I've gotten the truck back, i also took the time today to install some Cali Raised bed channel stiffeners and the Cali Raised antenna mounts on both the driver and passenger side for my WeBoost and my future radio antenna.

    Thanks a lot! It took me a bit to get everything in there but I love how it turned out! Now just to get more accessories to control it with!

    I gotta install the engine bay and camper shell lights I ordered from you still too. Wanna find a momentary switch to add to the hood and am interested in running the power to the terminal buss I got on the power tray.

    Griselda has been unbothered with upgrades/mods for quite a few months now due to busy times at work and whatnot.

    Today I made time to FINALLY install my @mattgecko LED engine compartment lights. Super simple! Hope the 3M holds up to Arizona summers!



    One of these days I'm gonna install a plunger style switch so they turn on automatically when I pop the hood.

    Finally got the suspension lift installed! No more rubbing from these beefy 32.9's lol. Now I can say it's time to get muddy... but this requires having time off work. who gets that? Not gonna lie, that UCA looks sexy AF. lol
