    Got a little dirty this weekend. Can't wait for a lift and aggressive looking tires. Also used my new awning, works great especially for the price I got it!

    Did some work on the truck this weekend at 2Fang Engineering with KCTW Bros @Slashaar and @Sociopenguin and had a meet with another TW bro from the other side of the state, STL. @Cav_BluTRD.

    Awhile ago, I accidentally drained a little ATF fluid while attempting to do oil. Didn't drain a lot but I attempted to fill back up as normal. Experienced clunking on stops and go, took to Valvoline shop and still experienced issues after. Followed instructions for Drain / Fill ATF fluid. Turns out it was overfilled.

    Added another sticker to my rear window and added 5+ more HP.
    Performed the fog light anytime mod.
    Performed tailpipe delete.

    A front strut is going bad and seems I need to do some brake changes in very near future. Got replacements for struts, just need to do that another day before my trip to TX next week.

    Had an adventure with my good friends. Traveled to Padre Island National Seashore and camped out for a few days.

    Truck did good for stock tires. I ran 4Hi and took every opportunity to go through deep sand. Did so good, never felt once I'd get stuck.

    My front struts were going bad and @Sociopenguin hooked me up with his stock 3rd Gen Sport struts and his standard travel rear fox's. Got to learn how to change the suspension. Definitely missing a lot of tools.

    The stock rear shocks were not coming out on its own, so we took a angle grider to them. Was hoping to save them for a friend, but oh well.

    We busy men.

    Hoping to get some A/T tires on in a couple weeks. May have to spring for a lifetime alignment.

    Finally got some tires!

    Falken Wildpeaks 265/70R17
    -Marking this at 83,502 miles when I bought tires.

    Think I need to include a picture of me angle grinding some unwanted stuff on my mounting brackets the weekend before.@Sociopenguin would insist. @Slashaar making sure I don't lose a hand.

    I have not received it yet, hoping to get everything installed tomorrow. @Shellshock suggested it to me. He made it sound like it's everything I want.
