Thought about plasti-dipping my bed rails but then looked outside and decided against it!

 

replaced fuel and air filter.

 

I removed the red/blue/clear LEDs from the brush guard, removed the laptop/mount between the front seats, lubricated the shotgun mount, found the squeak in the prisoner partition, and fixed a glitch with the in-car video system.

 

I unlocked the truck, loaded up a 5 gallon gas can under the tonneau, drove to the gas station, unloaded the gas can, filled it up, re-loaded the gas can, drove home, unloaded the gas can then locked her up.

My truck is becoming a weekend tow/haul rig. Boats or stuff. It's OK though, she needs the break.

 

Gave her an oil change, and replaced the drain plug. I also installed a new Gates serpentine belt--original serviced me very well for 123K, no complaints

 

Installed a HBS 2.5" leveling kit today. Took me and a buddy 2 hours. only issue i ran into was the upper control arm nut. when i backed it out a little and hit the arm, it released. then when i supported the arm and tried to take it the rest of the way, the bolt was just spinning. it took me a while to figure out i needed to pry the control arm down while loosening the nut with the impact so the bolt wouldn't spin around in there. I'm going to get 275/65r20's put on this afternoon.

 

Scraped off the snow. Fuel has reached £1.36 a litre here again!!!!

 

Gave her a good bath, inside and out

1) hand soapy wash on the exterior, including the body, wheels, rims and inspected exhaust/hangers.

2) Armor All'd the interior cab

3) Tuff Stuff on Vinyl Floors/Floor Mats

4) Cleaned all unnecessary papers/etc. out of the truck, probably lightening it by 20 lbs lol

Now, I'm gonna do some work-related stuff and go see Die Hard.

Had to play hooky from work to do it but oh well...

 

Built and installed some branch resonators on my exhaust to stop the drone. Worked great!

 

refitted a newly plastidipped grille, much prefer the black to the golden grille on the lariat. Also managed to fit 2 x new billet handles before the snow started falling.

 

^^pics?

 

Rubbish pics but I'd just come in from tucking it back down the side of the house.

 

Truck Looks great UK, I almost purchased those handles, instead I got the swish in chrome. Minor pitting but thats a perfect excuse to buy a new set down the road in diofferent design

If you plasti dip the bed rails, let us know how it holds up to loading and laying stuff on it?

 

Thanks and Will do, I'm kind of dubious about the same thing but it seems to come of easy enough when you want it to so if it doesn't hold it's reversible.

 

Paid Her OFF!!! WOO HOO
