Ordered my zone 1.5” BL and UCAs from @Nick@GotExhaust

Found the eibach pro lift kit in stock at tire rack on sale for $668 so I jumped on that and got new top hardware for the shocks as well

Ordered some 1/2” leveling spacers front and rear from rough country- will only be used to fix the drivers side lean
- on this topic: I’m not sure if I should use a spacer in the back right or front left to fix the lean? Anybody have any input?

Tire and wheels will have to wait till after New Years…

Installed diode dynamics ss6 sae driving ram kit. These lights are bright and focused down road. Way too bright to run at night around other vehicles.

At first I had created a harness that simply tied them into the ss3 fogs. After testing them around traffic, I went ahead and used the provided harness and switch so they are completely independent. 20211223_114348.jpg

This past weekend: Changed the oil, rotated the tires, fixed the right rear parking brake (a spring broke), and installed LED lights into my Decked cargo box system (pics below)
Three weeks ago: Installed a Decked Cargo box system. LOVE IT!

On the way home from the stealership I got mine from yesterday, (got it from a Buick/GMC outfit) both front calipers locked up. I put it on the lift, popped them off, jumped in my old reliable 96 Dakota that's missing about half its paint, and went to a Federated auto store for replacements (brakes and rotors brand new, Carfax says they had 6k miles on them when the PO traded it) I went by the place I got it from and to meet my wife for lunch (I was off for NYE, my wife wasn't) the salesman was standing outside talking to a fellow salesman, I explained what happened, (had reciept for new ones in my hand) he made a copy and said come by Monday, they'd cut me a check for them.
Today I have it in the garage, were getting 1st snowstorm of season, gonna sit a few days til they get it all cleared away. I just got off if Rock Auto, ordered $350-ish worth of plugs, (16 of them!!) wires, coil boots, oil filters (4), air filter, cabin filter, a new belt and tensioner. Has 93k miles on it, close enough to 100k to do the tuneup on it.

Fixed an annoying door panel rattle when certain frequencies of music play by sticking foam in the area between where the window switches and the door handle meet the door inner shell

Over the last two weeks I added two things: wheel flares and cai

The flares are from rough country ($300) and they fit perfectly. I like the look and quality of them. I highly recommend them to anyone.

The cai is the newer Injen model. Again, super star quality and fitment. I’ve had S&b and Volant and had fitment issues with both….Volant is the worst.

As expected, neither item adds and performance, or mpg…just something I like to do to personalize my truck.

So I searched the forum for a thread like this and didn't find anything. I figured it would be fun to have a thread that everyone can watch what everyone is doing each week.

This week I put on Steelcraft nerf bars, and right now I'm getting the permaplating put on the truck. This way it gets a real good bath.
Cleaned the 1st snow of the winter of my truck. We got about 12”, isn’t much for the north- born & raised in Minnesota, but even a couple of inches shuts down Northern VA. There are abandoned cars & trucks all over the road.
