Installed new drilled/slotted rotors. Installed new coils/ plugs. Replaced heater core and evaporator. Flushed coolant. Installed cabin air filter kit. Installed tailgate protector and a Husky bedmat. All in about 3 days.
Gosh... It's nice to be recently retired and not have to work so hard! Lol

That's a full (3) days :waytogo:

Took it in for its State Inspection…passed. Will need brake pads and tires by this time next year. Any pad recommendations? I don’t tow, but drive spirited. Upgraded brakes to R1 rotors/pads in 2019.
Zone 1.5” BL still in the box, awaiting my Bora 1.5’s…Did anyone check their Pedal Commander app lately? Its a new version…

What's a good rear diff cover that will fit with a fatter straight track bar (Freedom Off-road)? The AFE looks super thick, what about the Mag-Hytek? Maybe the PPE?

Watched it get loaded on a flatbed tow truck this morning. Was going down the road with the 7x16 trailer behind me. On the way to load up the skidsteer. About 4 miles down the road the ABS light on dash comes on. Then SERV4WD light comes on. Starts making a funny noise on the drivers front. Pull off the road and see smoke coming from behind the drivers front wheel. Let it cool for a few minutes then drove to a parking lot a block away. Steering feels funny and the brake pedal goes to the floor. Cost me 2 tows, flatbed for the truck and bumper pull for the trailer. They will look at it Monday.
Can I pull a 7x16 trailer behind the Harley?

Installed a Zone 1.5” body lift. Looks great, pics tomorrow in Daylight. Although it highlighted my slightly bent front bumper from punting a deer.

It's worth watching all of them.His cover is a bit differant then any aftermarket cover that's available for a 9.25 diff. It's your money,but don't expect spending a bunch of it on an after market cover for your 1500 to return you anything for what you spent. Other then the factory LSD,the 9.25 ZF is pretty robust,and doesn't really require an after market cover to live a long life.Like i said it's your money,but i could find better areas to spend money on then a rear diff cover.Put that money towards a Eaton Tru Trac or towards dumping your shorties and putting a decent set of long tubes on your truck,and you'll be farther ahead
