Official what did you do to your truck today thread.
(Re)Ordered my Mini D2S projector kit from TRS. New 4500k XB bulbs and G37-R shrouds. Can't wait to get it! Got $85 off for the BF deals.
Also ordered lift shackles, a driveshaft spacer, and one more thing I can't remember haha.
So much for "I'm not gonna spend any money for Black Friday/Cyber Monday"

I had the joy of ordering a transfer case shift motor today. It had a hiccup once two years ago, and just started acting up recently. So it's time. Yay.

And the 4WD gremlins strike again haha
And stupid 4x4. I haven't really used it at all this year, but whenever I shift to 4wd, the light just flickers for a second and goes off. So if I tap on the shift motor, and try again it goes in no issue. That thing wasn't cheap either. Glad I get a discount through my shops account.

I have no doubt that you'll like them. And I've heard the install on the minis aren't too bad.

I'm just glad I don't have that to deal with. It doesn't like to be over-used, but it also doesn't like not being used at all either. Electronic 4x4 just sucks, reliability wise.
My annual PA inspection is up this month. Is it pathetic of me to want to keep it locked up until April, and then take it in for inspection so I know the weather will be nicer and the truck won't get dirty/salty? 
I put rocks in for traction weight....need more still and think container is giving out so will have to remedy that

Spent the weekend feeling pretty miserable, but had to get turn signal bulbs swapped out as I blew the pass front and the LEOs in my town love giving signal tickets...
When I pulled the light assembly to swap the bulb, I noticed a considerable amount of water stuck in the light. It would appear the seal has been leaking for quite some time. So I took it out, shook it around and generally speaking drained what water I could get out of there out... (Probably better than 95% came out).
I need to start shopping for new headlights...

Painting my retrofits right now. Hope to have them done, aimed, buttoned up, and in the truck tomorrow night.

I can't wait to have them done! They're aimed more to the left/driver's side than I'd like, but I'm happy with them and they'll be getting put together for the final time in the morning.
