I see that you're in San Diego. Where did you get the gears done?

Do you have any photos of your rig with the 34s? That's the same size I want to move up to once I get re-geared, too (I'm running 285 75 16s now).

I had the gear done at San Diego Gear and Axle in El Cajon. .I don't have enough miles on them yet to make a full judgment, but so far it seems good.

It's about 1200 one way. Then driving around seeing everyone adds up quick.

Just got in my Alpha Rex Nova LED lights today. No pics yet cause, I'm not sure when I'm going to do the install. So glad I chose winter time in Michigan to get them.

Took the family to the Strasburg Railroad to get our Christmas Tree tonight. Train takes you to the lot to pick out your tree. They put it into an old flat car and then head back to the station. It was really nice. Well worth the 2 1/2 hr drive. Kids had a great time.

I am a cement gang member, but Voodoo Blue is such a good looking color. I hope they don't phase it out. Congrats!

I said if they could get me a Cement or Voodoo the quickest...they ultimately made my mind up for me. Happy I got the blue as I see a ton of cements, but I like both colors

Rims, caps and lugs showed up in 6 days from BAM. Will probably put the stock tires on for now to save a few bucks for a while.

Someone mentioned to me that swapping the tpms sensors could require reprogramming and could get pricey. Anybody here experience that?

But I neeeed tacos!!........taco, taco, taco, taco, taco.

Man, that sounds like a really cool experience and fun way to begin the holiday with the family. Cheers!

Great work. Do you mind sharing what heated seat kit you got? Where did you tap the 12V power to? I need to get this done on my truck. Thanks

CmdrTrekk said: ↑

Got the heated seats done today! Started it last weekend for the driver's side and all the wiring. Spent most of the time on the hog ties. Got smarter for the passenger side and got it done in about 2.5 hours instead.

Some of those lessons were:

Don't do it on the floor, you'll kill your back, that's why you have a built in work bench, dummy

Use your long, bent nose pliers to get the new ties under the upholstery rods, not your stupid fingers, and use your straight long pliers to pull the ties through the other side. I felt like a surgeon, and/or Edward plier hands

Do the back, then slide all the fabric back through again because it gets completely in the way

All done!

I have a '22 and won't say I hate the shifting, but do prefer the feeling in ECT. I don't feel strong enough to spring for a KDMAX tune, but would be game for this improvement for $50. Any other feedback on this product?

KDMax will change your (trucks) life!
