    Just some stuff...
    Never heard of Perry Parts. How do you like them so far? Any opinion on their customer service? I'm looking at their front bump stops right now and I just might give them a try. Prices aren't crazy and I like that they say they had a third party test them out.

    still running them. Feels better than stock. I don’t see a reason to switch to something else

    lol, why ask him how much it weighs if you are gonna do the math?

    and why criticize if you don’t bother looking up the load rating? Or the weight of a comparable rack?

    he is within a few pounds of aftermarket racks; using your math he is under many of them

    Victory was mine. I used this as an excuse to get/use an air hammer for the first time after everyone's favorite tool store just happened to have all their Chief stuff on 40% off this week. Almost went Astro as I have generally really liked their stuff, but the timing was right and price point undeniable.

    I don't know what on earth I have been doing all this time until now, but this thing is great! Made such quick work of it I was almost a little disappointed. Die grinder with a cylinder burr to put a little step in it, couple squeezes on the trigger and it whizzed right off. Fantastic!

    After wrapping up the front diff service, then realizing how easy the Uni filter retrofit was, I threw that on. Foam was in fine shape, but it was new in '20 with only 15-20k on it since. Probably took longer to run to the basement to find a T25 than the actual process.

    It’s just velcro’d to the fuseblock lid because I’m pretty much out of room under the hood for any else at this point.

    It let's you drop the air pressure down to almost nothing without popping a bead. Offroad purposes.

    If you bought that paint matched one, where did you get it?

    Installed some 3D printed “Areo” plugs on my Hooke road roof rack.

    Cut down the wind noise by about 35% I can actually have a conversation with someone on the highway without yelling.

    Not the most prettiest thing, but it’s functional. Now to see how long it will last in the winter.

    That leaf pack looks like a 2015 pack to me. I had the old old ones & tossed them right after I bought it. Here's the 2015's I got off CL with my Toytec AAL

    Shit ton of Goldfish crackers in back seats, Spilled juice box residue on back of front seats, and a yellow Vanillaroma air freshener.
    Had my 2nd Gen since 2015, and still don’t know why the hell I would ever need these?! Explain to me like I’m an idiot…… cuz, ya know, evidently I am? What are these and why have I had them in my glove box for 9 years? Anybody want / need them? IMG_4266.jpg
