Got two 4 gallon roto pax installed Saturday.

Went and recovered a Jeep Saturday evening with the truck for it's "maiden voyage" after all this work that's been done recently. Performed awesome. No struggle on the trail, even when things got pretty narrow it held its ground. Never had to engage the locker, but the 4 wheel drive works beautifully. Hooked the snatch block to a tree and winched the jeep back onto the trail, then got her turned around and drove back out. They turned and went the short way home, I decided to take the long back way through to Bogus Basin for a quiet easy drive.

No pics of the recovery as the trail was super narrow and I was a little sketched out as it was, but here's a few shots of the truck. First pic showed the opening of the clearing she went through, second pic you can make out the trail I had to start out on. Just imagine a 4 wheeler trail with a wide ass full size truck, that's what it was.

Iv had 3 different sets of aftermarket headlights. I'd always end up going back to stock cause aftermarkets always sucked. So I just decided to buy a new set of stocks and 6k h.i.ds and be done with it[emoji16]

Refilled my tank and hand calculated my mileage. 9.1mpg with 95% city driving was a lot better than I was expecting

took the stacks off and put a stock exhaust back on, because i drive it a lot more than normal now for work, and the stacks are getting annoying. I just want some peace and quiet coming home at 1:00 am.

Anyone know anything about the actual vehicle speed sensor wiring? Where does it plug in? I replaced the sensor in axle and the cluster test is good. Where does it plug in? Been to wet lately to check.
