    Picked up a Deck Plate today at West Marine. I hope to do the Deck Plate mod this week! Can't wait.

    Also got my wheelers 1/4" Spacers in the mail.
    Only need $300 until the 3" Toytec lift and 285 Cooper STTs/Hankook Dynapro MTs go on!

    I just used the paint matching stuff for all the chips in my white paint. Bought it at the dealer. White shows the chips really good since the primer is dark.
    Would be nice if they would use a lighter primer from the lighter color paints.

    I changed the ATF today, just a drain and fill with Mobil 1 synthetic. Will be doing it a couple more time within 5-6K miles to try and get rid of all the old, and just have synthetic. I also cleaned my AFE air filter. And I detailed it after going up to the mountain yesterday, it was filthy! Looks all shiny again.:D

    I was going to do my Front diff. too. But I couldnt not for the life of me get the drain plug to break free. I was trying so hard and just didnt want to break it or strip the threads. The only thing I didnt try was my air gun. Any thaughts!

    I got the 4". I heard with my engine(3.4 V6) you can do a 6"?
    Which one did you get? I was lucky and found a black one. With my membership coupon I got it for about 6 bucks:)
