Alas, no. But a new aluminum oil skid to replace the nasty cracked factory one that came with the truck

Sweet. I'll upgrade to steel once this aluminum one goes out or when I finish the entire lifting process

I would run 1/4 inch aluminum and save weight

Checked bolts on all the calipers to make sure they're all torqued down tight as hell. New oil filter was leaking a little bit, tightened that as well. Also cleaned under the hood as good as I can get it for now

:hissyfit: I did it right this time, held guide pin in place while torquing every bolt until it wouldn't tighten anymore.

Yeah.... still worried something will go wrong on the way to your place. It's got me all paranoid since I keep messing stuff up lately :no:

Do me a favor and check all your lug nuts before you leave :rotfl:
Will do, only took the one wheel off. I was able to reach every other caliper from underneath.

Replaced a leaking power steering cooler ... went with the Dorman aluminum version. Hardest part was getting the four lower clips out of the bumper oh except for dealing with those factory hose clamps especially with all of the oil coating the pliers I was using. Was able to push the plastic air deflector out of the way so all I had to remove was the grill and the bumper cover.

Here's some shots I took:

That's what I did with mine today, drove it to work and back home.

Swapped the factory stereo back into the dash tonight, my JVC HD deck fritzed out and I can't get it to work. I bought a new battery the other night and installed it with the doors closed and locked. I attached the POS and then the Neg, and all heck broke loose, horns blowing and headlights on, big spark from the NEG cable to the battery. The radio worked when I pulled up to the Auto Zone for the battery, I installed the new one and it stopped working. Wondering if it got damaged with a power surge or something. Checked the fuse on the back of the radio and it's fine, the fuse in the truck for the radio is fine too. The factory deck works fine now. I guess the JVC might just be a gonner. Hopefully not, I'll try and get it going tomorrow on the bench with a battery charger power source.

Fixed my squeaky brakes and found this:

It hasn't worked in a while, so I think I will remove it until I get a new one. I also have a handful of parts that keep the shoe in.

Rewired my subs to take the stress off the speaker wires due to the new position of the box. Put my cargo area panels back in after troubleshooting my rear view camera issues last week.

Relied on some awesome friends/members to save my ass again. Broke down coming home from the jamboree. 85 miles from home. Erikss drove out and dropped off a car dolly and then hotness towed me the rest of the way home when he got to me. (I left jamboree before him) so 3 hour ride turned to 7 hours. But again some of the best friends I could ever ask for.
