    Went to the #PelfreybiltFamily Labor Day cookout for a few hours and had a blast. Came home with a few decals and a patch so putting the decals on ASAP was a must. Should've gotten a white lettering Pelfreybilt decal-- whoops!
    Oh well looks like I'll just have to get one when we get our Hi-Clearance :rolleyes:

    Came back to the truck in a parking garage after seeing a movie, couldn't help but snap a pic




    Parking on the street while the garage is full of furniture we're trying to sell so I get to see her every night before I close the living room blinds :wave:

    Extremely.

    You just take off the plastic covers near the cruise control and on the other side

    After that there's a T30 nut on either side you have to remove


    Then lastly you can remove the horn/airbag portion of the steering wheel and you have access to the 2 sides that I painted--
    there's 2 phillips screws/side and Toyota zip tied the wiring to the plastic covers


    I always removed the negative terminal on the battery since I was dealing with the air bag and messing around in that area, plus it helps when putting it back together that you aren't beeping the horn while trying to screw in that center portion and tighten down the T30 nuts

    Continuing the black out. Switched 4x4 parts since he had a black one and I obviously didn't want a silver one. Plus he didn't give a damn about it so that's a plus!
