Chassis unlimited front and rear bumpers should be here within a week.
Oh boy! I'm excited to see those! I was just looking at the CU front bumper the other day. I go out to the mountains for a few days and then I want to turn everything into an offroad beast.

Dropped the truck off for repairs. Wont start unless I step on the gas while it is cranking. Fuel pump or check valve?

Got a trailer hitch installed. Gonna have to wire up a 7-blade connector myself but it shouldn’t be too much trouble

Also took it to two different dealers to see if they could fix my TIPM VIN mismatch/missing code, along with turn on power locks and change my tire size since I can’t do those with Alfa. Neither dealer could access anything except the PCM. Not sure if its Wi-tech related or if my truck is just funky, but I guess anything computer related will have to come thru alfaobd.

Now I’m gonna look into an instrument cluster replacement as probably the only way to get the power locks working is to put in a new cluster with power locks already enabled

Put a Superchips Flashpaq 3865 tune on the wagon today. 91 octane tune really woke her up. I keep chirping the tires on accident lol.

Got the rear Chassis Unlimited Octane bumper on today. Still need to wire up the license plate lights but it looks great. I have the front bumper ready to go but I'm dreading taking the 300 lb winch out by myself lol.e0aa74bf89ad0e8611d2cbe1369636b2.jpg071165e5948a52659da3919814d105e3.jpg

Bought some exterior detailing products today. Washed, clay barred, polished, touch-up pen'd, and ceramic waxed the drivers side door before I ran out of light. It got a few of the scratches but not all of them, but man the shine alone made it worth it. I plan on getting the rest of the truck over the next day or two.

I'll have to get some pics tomorrow

I attempted to change the oil but I was quickly reminded why I never bring my vehicle to the dealership. Oil drain plug was overtorqued and it stripped the plug..thankfully the oil pan threads look okay. So, got a Fumoto valve coming in tomorrow. Long overdue anyway.

Got my inspection done. Took 3 tries to find a inspection station that wouldn’t check my window tint percentage lol.

Been doing a lot of driving to college. Probably gonna go on and order some LED fog lights and a fog light harness, along with a couple of new caps for the radio bezel 12v sockets. Just by eyeballing them it looks like they'll fit and a few others with older jeeps and such have had good luck with them fitting, so I'm gonna give them a try.

Looking at building a fold out storage “shelf” for the back seat (like what the 4th gens have) for my dog to sit on car rides..If anyone has any ideas, please send them my way.

Otherwise, truck seems to be running a lot better. Driving it a lot to make sure I don’t spike any codes but the real test will be the 370 mile trip on Monday. Once I get home I’m going to experiment with the different Superchips tunes. The Mileage tune is awesome but I’m only driving an average of 20 miles a week lately so I can afford to pay for premium fuel for a while.

Wired up a 7-blade trailer harness and installed it in the bumper. Also changed out the spark plugs and coil packs, and cleaned the throttle body while I was in there. Now I'm waiting on some exterior door handles to get painted to put those on
