    Is this a common thing to do?? I’ve had that code since I bought the truck and figured it wasn’t worth the trouble.

    Delighted she started up up first try after replacing so many things in the past 2 weeks. Next is brake job, might need new calipers and rotors, head and tail lights Rotors, and I really need someone to help me convince the wife that I should turbo charge my baby... for the fuel economy... right...?

    Call it an engine driven air compressor, it's technically the truth. Compressed air is an excellent tool :D

    Nope stock option. I should ask if I can get another drivers side one and see if it can work on the passenger side since I don't have the washer res.

    @cnote4l will that work possibly for those of us with relocated washer resevoirs?

    It’s a VIS Racing CF hood that I found on marketplace for $50. It was in rough shape to say the least but with new epoxy and clear oats on top, it’s coming back to life quite nicely!

    You had Kwikvette make a mount for you, right? How'd that work out? I need to get my Viair 400P mounted and have been overthinking it.

    Sorry if you posted and I missed it. I took a hiatus from the LT thread.

    Thanks dude. I'm glad I spent the time to route it but embarrassed to say it took me 2hrs to figure out how to without hitting anything. Took me 30 mins the first time and then I found out it hit the oil filter and the alt. The second time it hits nothing but took time and a crowfoot wrench I didn't know I owned haha

    Yeee I made a cardboard template and had him cut a mount out for me. I still need to do a bit of work and finish installing it because I didn't dimension everything quite right lol

    Thanks! Yea can't wait to see how much of a difference they make offroad

    Haven't done any trimming so far. Just threw em on there. Thanks to the solo arms I'm able to drive around on them just fine. Still need to pull the coilovers and see where it hits at full bind.
    I flexed it out on a rock and still had no rubbing up front.

    That's really cool I'm impressed they fit in the back to be honest mine touched the bottom of the fender and the top of the arch when flexed out in the back

    The back won't take much more work for me. My axle isn't totally centered rn so it hits the rear lower corner of the fender, but with where I have my bumps set they won't even touch the bottom of the flare or fender completely stuffed.
    I'm sure your 63's help a lot with having your bump height a lot higher.

    cant remember if posted thsi or not...

    the other day it was being mentioned about the rear tailgate badges & who expensive they were, IF you could even fine them.

    well im a poor boy & this is a 20 yr old truck. so grabbed a set of paint pens that had chrome/silver as a color in them & said what the heck.

    it aint perfect cause my hands arent steady like they used to be, but it aint bad & is way better than it was. mine were pretty much all flaked off somewhere.tailgate letters.jpg
