    I think the truck looks good as is. Also, do I spy an FSU plate cover?

    It looks idiotic to me. I can see the convenience of having the gear bags there for recovery, first aid, etc... but a camping chair? I'm not feeling it.

    Hmm... Better have thick skin if you plan to stick around here...

    Spacers are the easiest/cheapest but it will change the geometry of your suspension. If plan to flex your truck even a little, you need to have taller bump stops to keep from bottoming out your shock.

    [​IMG]

    Drop bracket is kind of expensive and not really needed for 2wd. Its meant to relocate your front diff to keep your CV's from binding but Ive seen 2wd trucks run them. It maintains the stock suspension geometry and can give you a 6" lift. It isn't the best offroad, tends to get hung up on rocks and while Ive never seen one break, the theory is it can break off pretty easy.

    [​IMG]

    You want a real lift? SAS. And you get 4wd :D

    Threw a P0120 code... :( I remember it throwing the same code about a year ago and I cleared it and everything seemed fine until now so I guess I'll clear it again and see if it comes back.

    If it does I'll do some cleaning and see if that helps

    I drove it 30 freeway miles to work today and I didnt throw a code since clearing it, the idle is high and seems to lag with dropping in neutral and when shifting.

    Drove ok for the most part otherwise, the other day it was really jerky when shifting.

    Thats going to be cleaned today as well, So far I have cleaned the MAF and front side of the TB, today the entire TB will be coming off the intake manifold for a thorough cleaning including the IAC, and all electronic tab connections checked.

    The Throttle cable is around a year old and not binding and in the TB everything seems to move smooth and freely.

    So the last thing I can think of is the sensor
