Installed the new Saleen S331 grille on the truck. And GOSH-DAMN*T do I love it.
It gives the truck a way more sportier look with the lowered stance.


It was a PITA getting that OEM Chicken Wire looking grille out of there to insert the new one. But I am veryy pleased. Ordering a new pair Crystal Lightly Smoked lights next week. After I did a ghetto retrofit on the ones I have now, it has the lights looking scratched, hazzey and just ugly as doo-doo!

Installed my HBS 2.5 Leveling kit and one new upper ball joint/control arm. Truck looks and drives so much better now. I love it.

Changed the spark plugs. 3 broke however the Lisle tool came to the rescue. Also replaced all the COP boots. Truck seems to be running better; I will know for sure next week.

Now I need to sand my 2011+ emblems and get them ready for the painter. I also have the grill surround ready to go to the painter. Saleen grill has been waiting too long to install (long story).

Washed it Sunday, put Cravenspeed stub antenna on. No radio reception. Looks much better though, and no more garage door catching with the antenna. Has been in the garage since.

Personally I don't care what it looks like, if there's no radio reception it's worthless.

It does suck a bit, but I use my phone most of the time anyways. However it is nice to have local news and stations now and then.

Same thing happened to mine yesterday. When I put my exhaust on I pulled on the heat shield a few times to bend it out of the way and pulled about 1/2 of the bolt with the washer through the shield.

I pulled away from a redlight and it sounded like the brakes dragging. I went a few miles to my dads house and crawled under to see the heat shield laying on the driveshaft.
