Ground hog 1 down.
Does your work have cameras on the parking lot?

Day 2 back at work today. Still trying to get back up to speed on stuff.
Sadly not where I park which is in front of a hangar.
 
In the cube for a bit and then off to get my permanent crown at the dentist. Yippee
 
Packing and getting ready to leave the country.
 
Been in and out of meetings all day...
 
Ordered the last 2 gallons of Black Plastidip and checked delivery status of my custom-fit dash cover from CoverKing.

FINALLY!!!

Heading home today. Can't wait to get back to the TB. Will have around a month to play around it before I head back here again. Planing to make it as productive as possible. Can't wait to get back to GMTNation as well and dare I say IMA try to update my build thread :tongue::rotfl:
 
Went to work from like 8:30-6. Stopped to say hi to @littleblazer . Painted the exhaust tip on my truck, as well as trying to figure out why the passenger side headlight keeps collecting moisture because it’s getting really annoying.

Sit that headlight out and upwards in direct sunlight. The water moisture that is trapped in there will eventually evaporate in the hot sun. Then coat the seam on the headlight lens in sealant. Should keep any moisture from creeping back inside.
 
teleworking so basically relaxing

Any suggestion on sealant?
 
Another run of the mill day in the office. Nothing major on the schedule for the day, so getting caught up on busy work that piled up while I was on vacation. Is it bad that I'm looking forward to the weekend already?

Any suggestion on sealant?

I used black RTV silicone on mine with my first retrofit, when I encountered the same problem. Mainly because it blended in with the base color of the headlight.
 
I got groundhog number 2.
 
Headed to do some oil changing and some weed whacking around the house
 
It feels great to be back home!! Got an upgrade on the second leg of the trip to Saudi which was unexpected 😎.

First thing I did after relaxing was immediately take the TB for a ride. Can't say how much I missed this beast.

Got into dad's truck and was greated with a very colorful dashboard. Will have to diagnose this one out.

Some shots of how she stands.. 😊

Need to start planning what I can do to it in the time I'm here.

Ordered $80+ worth of Plastidip aftercare products and cleaners. The best part is you get reward points for every dollar spent. I already have enough between all the stuff I previously ordered to dip a small car for no cost. Once all that arrives, I'm taking a week off work to take a break from this annoying workplace and people. I'll dip the truck on whatever coolest day happens to occur on that week, over at my girlfriend's parents house. Stoked to start this project.

Put a set of new body style tow mirrors on. Definitely makes it look meaner in my opinion.:2thumbsup:
 
Started using 93 Octane; saw an increase in mileage (30-40 miles-per-tank believe it or not) after I started using 89 Octane after the swap. So, figured i'd take it up another notch and see if mileage increases anymore than that with 93. Today is gonna consist of detailing the engine bay, usually do it every 1 & 1/2 -2months. Going to get more involved in how I usually do it, learned some tips from ChrisFix on YouTube. Vacuuming the interior, putting in the new dash cover, and laundry. Will look around town for cheap cars too probably.
 
My buddy's engagement party yesterday. That was also when I found out I was best man. Caught me a little off guard to say the least.

Today I did the recirculate actuator in @brianlibby791 s truck.
 
Took the EXT through some trails today for the first time since the new tires. Pretty impressed with them even though I didn’t get to go through any real mud. I guess I just need to wait for it to rain for a week straight so I can test them a bit more.

In the cube
 
Putting a new bulb in the North Face light when I get home. Hopefully replacing my rear sway bar end link as it has come completely detached...
 
Past few days been enjoying out with the TB. Took Dads truck for a computer check, my OBD II scanner wasn't working on his truck. Turns out the lights are flashing due to the LH rear ABS sensor acting up. Have planned to look at it over the weekend maybe clean it and see if it works again. Other than that just crusin around in my beautiful TB

Just take the rear bar off...it's not essential for handling of these trucks.

I'm not sure if that's sarcastic or not...
 
Its not... Most of us that lift throw the bar away. its absence is not noticeable at all. You can tell when the front is removed, but even ditching it with a the stiffness of the lifts is not a big issue. The rear really does nothing but impede flex.

Even when driving around turns on road?
 
Yep. I have no sway bars currently. been that way for awhile. In town, highway, interstate, offroad....no issues.

Today I am taking off work a bit early cause the wife said we need to enjoy the nice day and grill some steaks! I like her style

Alright. Sounds good
 
At the job, waiting for delivery of a new printer
 
Not feeling the busy work today (or ever really), so looking at goodies for a bathroom remodel that I can't afford, while I wait for our Tuesday conference call with corporate. :hopeless:
 
Well after driving over 2800km, working an OT night shift tonight to help pay for that trip.
