What did you do with your 4th Gen this week?

[Socalramfan]

Trying out a mild ‘Blacking out’ touch. Put some covers over the chrome door handles. If I like it, I’ll spring for the actual Oem painted ones

So far, I do.

Decided to also clean out the bed, and reorganize it a bit. Thinking about a Bedrug bottom, and then mounting certain items to the sides ( shovel, axe, extinguisher, etc).

Had to put a new battery in it this weekend

Added some 5100s for a level., control arms, strut bushings and end links replaced.

I've had similar looking covers on my truck for years. Matches so well I never bothered swapping the handles out.

Few weeks back I ordered a black widow 10" Widowmaker muffler and a total flow muffler delete. Shops wanted about $150 to weld the muffler in for me. So for $130, I bought the delete, cut it up and welded my black widow muffler in. Had to do the cutting and wiring in my shop at work, so wasn't 100% sure it would fit until I put it on. Happy to say, it fits perfectly. Plus sounds amazing. Now, I can sell my carven and probably break even on the mod.

Finally got a decent sound clip of the setup.

4-5 years on a battery seems par to me. Certainly not what they use to be. Both good and bad.

Figured it was time to get off the fence and support this site.

Pay it forward

I did the same the first time I saved $50 from advice and knowledge learned here

Had to put a new battery in it this weekend

I'm waiting for mine to die. It's the original in a 2014.

Ran some stuff to the dump earlier this week and on the outbound weigh stop without me in it, the truck was at 6100 lbs., that's my drive around weight (not including the full size spare I didn't have with me). That's heavier than I assumed I'd be rolling around at.

Original battery here too in my 2015.

Same here, but I am putting in a new one next month.
2016. Not taking any chances.

Added 5100s and airlift 1000 bags on the rear.

Air valve on the hitch for now.

Now have new shocks front and rear. Rebuilt front end and can haul stuff without being nose high.

Replaced 2 tires and had it Aligned on Monday. Then they re-aligned to fix the caster on Tuesday. Rides so much better than with the wore out parts on the front drivers side bushings and ball joints.

Lots of work done, looks good

Any plans for ‘onboard air’?

Yes I do.

That will be an upgrade that I want in the near future. Either next month or the month after as finances allow.
