Put my stock wheels on a little early for winter. I have a 13hr drive to Jack Daniels. Maybe it will get a little better mpg.
Part of me wants to do the 2/4in drop and run these year round

I’m right there with you. A 2/4 drop would look awesome with those wheels and tires.

Installed the 3.5" infinity reference speakers in dash. Wasn't an earth shattering difference, but definitely cleaner highs now. Have some CDT 2ohm 6x9s for the doors, but those will have to wait for another day.

Just curious how come you got rid of the tow mirrors? im guessing they were not power folding was that why? Im looking to get tow mirrors but I see a bunch of posts on here about getting rid of them.

Honestly I never really liked the look of the truck with the tow mirrors. And I only tow a 10 x 10 flat trailer occasionally. Our town roads are a bit narrow and I always felt like I was going to lose one either to a parked car or oncoming traffic.

Here's some, not so great, pics of the lights through my backup camera. 
Pretty good, I'd say. I can see SOOOO much better, now. I might angle the up just a bit, though.
The first pic is just the brake lights in neutral.
Edit: I did end up angling the lights up a bit.

My new brackets showed up today from Shifts and Grins! Time to cram by 30” DD light bar in the front of my truck!

Mike, how are the Dueler's in the snow? I was thinking about replacing them before winter with some KO2's or Duratrac's.

Must have been covering the Penn State game? When I went to college in Lock Haven, I lived right around the corner from the Lock Haven airport (did an internship there at the Piper museum, too). About once a year the blimp would land in the back yard for a big saturday game. Pretty impressive to watch take off and land.Yep. It’s still there. Albeit a little moist this morning

Busy weekend. Pulled all the badges, rolled the foam adhesive off, and cleaned the glue. I've debadged a few vehicles, but this one was tough. Had a terrible time getting the glue off completely. I tried alcohol and goo gone both, and it took multiple application and a lot of rubbing. After that, I hit it with my DA and some light compound to clean up the rest. I like the cleaner look, but it definitely took some effort. Picked up a k and n drop in filter from walmart to replace the factory paper, and I ripped out the secondary insert in the box. I also picked up some black plastic 3/8 plugs for the front bumper holes. Sprayed them white yesterday before I can install. I'll throw those in tonight when I get home.

Looking forward to the video as always.My new brackets showed up today from Shifts and Grins! Time to cram by 30” DD light bar in the front of my truck!
I have a pneumatic tool that is essentially a giant spinning eraser for removing adhesive without harming paint. That being said, I did not have it when I removed the sport stickers from the bed. I literally just used a construction pencil eraser on it and followed it with goo-gone then soapy water. The pencil eraser works wonderfully.
I debadged my tailgate the day after I brought truck home from dealer. Badges pulled right off with minimal residue that easily wiped off with some adhesive remover. I used the 3M adhesive remover. The dealership badge was harder and I used the eraser wheel on that.
