    wow sorry, I am extremely late on this. I took out the battery and covered the fuse box with a trash bag, and made sure not to spray water directly into the alternator. I rinsed, sprayed degreaser very generously everywhere and let it sit for a bit. Just rinsed and dried.

    Added 1.25” spacers on the rear so they match the front from the spindle lift. Then added a stubby antenna and put on a rear brake line relocation kit.

    Added a 3 rocker switch panel to the center console next to the useless cup holder. Its tough using a dremel cutting through a curved surface, but i made it work. The panel isnt flush against the olastic. So may add something underneath the corner so its flush. Time to get some more switches

    It's a side gig. 1 of many. I buy boats, sell boats, trade boats, part out boats, repair my boats and others boats, sell used boat parts, and fix up and resale boats.

    Right now I'm fitting a boat trailer to a specific boat project that I have. This one will be resold once the whole project is done. It was 90* today and I'm tired AF. I got a pretty good sunburn.
    20200426_184108.jpg

    I either own or am half owner of 7 boats, I think it's 7. Lol.

    I also work part time at a friend's offroad shop, anything that involves DC electrics except for winches, the full time guys do the winches.

    I also do car stereo and car alarm installs for friends and for patient people.

    I also do consignment sales, pretty much anything. Do you want to buy a sandrail? Lol.

    I'm also getting back into eBay sales again. Over 2500 positive transactions. 3 negatives I believe, but they were long ago.

    Finally got around to installing the VLED Triton v6 DRLs/Front Turn Signals. Completely drowns out my Diode Dynamics sidemarker LEDs, but I like how my front end looks with the DD SS3 Sports.

    Not today but in the last few weeks.
    Changed the plugs, I bought the truck about a year ago so didn't know when they were last done. Turns out they were original...160,000 miles.
    Denso's were at about .050 and NGK"s were about .075

    Got the dealer to change out the Ujoints and carrier bearing and rebalance for driveline vibration. Dealer covered cost under Customer Support Program.

    Got some 3rd gen rims off OfferUp for $150, and had them mounted up.

    @Plain Jane Taco Yep, it's the Diode Dynamics SS3 Sports. Highly recommend if you're in the market for some.

    Feels good to work through the frustrations and finish a project. Got my MESO overhead switch panel wired up and installed. Wired in a hidden kill switch before the panel and wired the panel so the locker switch doesn't get power unless my compressor switch is throwing power to my compressor. Got unique colors for each switch to relay to accessory. All lined up to install my compressor and also my aux fuse panel.

    Yes, sounds like you may gotten a better deal than me. Did you go with neoprene?

    Spent some time cleaning up the engine bay after a lot of neglect in that area. Still have more work to do but it’s a start.
