That’s real ?
Yep, it can be. Here’s my “pen and paper” first tank after removing my A/T tires and installing some michelin defender ltx tires.

The only thing lock lugs are going to do is make it take 5 more minutes to take off. If they want it there're going to get it one way or another.
True, but sometimes making theft slightly more inconvenient is enough. I lived in that house for several more years, and never had my wheels stolen again. That’s not definitive proof the locks stopped the theft, but it’s a simple, low tech, and inexpensive deterrent.

Threw on some new links last night. These are 3/4” longer and pushed my sway bar back to almost being parallel to the ground. Last suspension upgrade for a long time for me…

Looking to do the same. Any tricks on the install? Can you share the link for purchase please?

Get yourself a 19 mm ratcheting swivel wrench. There’s not much room to access the top nut so the swivel lets you attack from a weird angle.

I’ll be posting the video on my channel this week. Also lots of PB blaster to help things come off a bit easier.

Yep, here's the chart of the last few fill ups:
MlV8vv7.png


Around town, I average 24 MPG but hauling 1000 pounds of motorcycles for 2200 miles, we got 19-21 MPG. But on my recent 500 mile drive to and from Watertown NY from New Hampshire, I took only back roads because it was a nice weekend and I just cruised along. I'd accelerate down hills and let off the throttle up hills so it allowed me to keep the turbo from kicking in (Diesel). As long as you stay off the turbocharger, you can achieve 30 MPG but if there were people behind me like traffic, I'd be a pretty annoying person to be behind since I was doing 70 down hills and 40 up them. But it was fun to see how high I could get the MPG.

Clean some oil drops due to i hope when the dealer did the oil change. The skid plate is also heavily stain with oil/grease. Will be checking again in few days to see if i actualy have a leak.
Then later took my dog to the park. Eventually i will do a proper retrofit on the raised platform i made for my 4th gen quad cab so it fits better on this crew cab but for now this will do

The excess oil could be from then changing the oil filter. Its up there. And they wont clean up after thenselves. My skid plate had a good amout too.

Did you have the annoying rattle and by chance did this solve it for you??

What am I doing today....going over manuals to see what oil I should order for my first oil change.

2019-2021 manuals say 5w-20 oil, my 2022 manual, and dip stick shows 0w-20 oil...so I'm having ocd issues with oil selection...lol.

But I'm sticking to the manual with 0w-20 even though I'm sooo used to ordering 5w-20.

Wait, you don’t brake going down hills and floor it going up them!?!

Well damn. Window trim is coming loose. Noticed it at lunch after doing a quick rinse at the local wash. Just double sided automotive tape here? I have a roll in the garage. Driver's side looks a little loose as well, but not near as bad.

Here's a post where someone described how it attaches. There's a screw in there somewhere (along with tape).

Looks like 3 clips and 2 strips of tape...
View attachment 126128
Thanks you two! Hopefully just a simple fix then with some 3m double sided tape. Clips must not be that great since the top one isn't really doing anything. I tried pushing it back in and nothing. Hopefully it's not broke, I'll have to look closer.
