Drove 40miles through a fairly good snow storm to get to a Rodney Carrington show. Got our drinks and then the announcement that he got snowed in at Denver.

Thanks man. I appreciate it.
It's a '16 Ram Sport 4X4 that I ordered back in late '15. Took about 7 weeks to get delivered.

I love my Fumoto drain valve too lol .... What I did last time with the oil filter is used a plastic cup that just fit around the oil filter and let it drain into the cup first ... no mess and easy to take off after that ...

Thanks I’ll try that next time, I use a ziplock bag and it catches some oil but the rest spills out as the bag catches on stuff and twists as you unscrew the filter.

Rear rotors, pads and parking brake shoes. Switched over to the winter wheels (Rebel wheels in the pic) and now going to wash, wax and detail the interior then put the Weather Tech mats back in for the winter and store my Limited mats 'till spring.

Tomorrow I may switch the OEM Halogens over to LED on the Fogs and High Beams and HID on the Low Beams (Projectors).

Never heard of them.

How much did they cost for all 4, mounting/balancing and 4 wheel alignment??

Expanding on my light obsession (as my wife calls it):

I added some tailgate lights, they repeat the signals, running, and stop. $18 at Menards (took a photo opportunity while I was there)

Added a Hi-Lo red projector light to my Auxiliary reverse circuit. (It runs on 12v - 120v DC.) Eventually it will be tied into my brakes and hazards only.
Both the Hi-Lo Light and my 4" Pods are not visible from the back. They are tucked up where my spare tire was.
When the truck is in reverse, the red spot is projected down and the flood lights are relay enabled.
(Helps when I'm backing up at night, no backup camera so I do it old-school with the head turn and mirrors.)

Three weeks ago, I replaced my open diff carrier with an LSD and replaced the parking brake shoes while at it. The following week, an oil change. This past weekend, rear pads and rotors, adjusted parking brake shoes, switched over to winter wheels (as pictured) and swapped out the OEM halogen bulbs with LED for the High Beam and Fog Lamps and HID for the projector Low Beams.

Didn't take a picture yet, but I did it again... I closed the fudging garage door on my front bumper. Damage looks minimal, probably buff a majority of the scratches out. Can't wait to have a bigger garage so my truck fits better.

You don't have some wheel chocks so when you hit the limit it stops you? ... if you don't you should use some ...

I used to always have a chock. But against my better judgement I didn't put it back when I had to move it the other day. I've got a line painted on my floor where I put the block. The first time I did it is what brought on the chock. But $hit happens. I don't want to damage it on purpose but once it's too rough it'll give me an excuse to do an aftermarket bumper.
