It is and it worked ok in stock location. I now have the pacbrake relocation and it works just the same there too.

My Ram and I didn't want to go back to PRCali, so we went on side quests.
I THINK this is where they photographed the AEV Prospector XL marketing photos back in 2020, but I could be wrong.




I noticed this place last year when I was coming back from my AZ and Toquerville trip, and I passed by it so many times without actually getting in due to time.
This time, I was by myself with no time limit, so I went for it.

as usual, details in my build thread.

This weekend, week after returning to PRCali, my Ram and I went to chase fall colors.

I carry that same harbor freight stool in the back of my truck. Being 5'8" with a truck that is lifted on 35's isn't the greatest combination

Im also 5 8 I dont carry it with me but just to get up in there to dump oil in its needed lol.

Installed fuse box/switch system. I know these are Chinesium but I've used these in boats and UTVs and they work well. The wireless switch panel means no fishing wires through the firewall and I can take the remote on the boat and use it to light up the boat ramp after dark. More lights/accessories to come.

With Boat season coming to an end, started my winter hobby. Picked up my first one.

I'm young enough to jump in the back if needed, although 25 years of ice hockey has taken it's toll, but I'm also old enough not to care what people in the Walmart parking lot think of me when I use it

 

[Scram1500]

Anyone ever seen a Chrysler air conditioner before?

 

[Jedi9]

Yes, the Chrysler K platform

Im knocking on 40s door next month... I can still, as I should, drop the gate grab a pocket then kinda hop up in. I have lived a rough life in the physical manor so I am now just at the beginning of just starting to understand of what all the old ferts said Id pay for it later. I am slowing down due to some old and new injuries but I still don't let the 50+ out do me and still run circles around well everyone I work with. Slow is smooth and smooth is fast.

I drove the truck to close on my first business acquisition deal.

 

[1BADRAMLIMITED]

Picked up my truck from dealer yesterday. Had the water pump changed, thermostat and line leading into oil cooler. ( dealership last year did a sh** job doing this work which lead us to the failure)

Got quoted $800 to do the 8 speed transmission fluid change. Anyone have experience doing this in their driveway and have input on how a DIY’er can tackle this?

I plan on following this. The hardest part will be moving the exhaust system to get the oil pan down and figure out a way to be able to shift gears without a lift. Was thinking maybe taking the tires off while the rear is on jack stands would suffice. I'd leave my front supported by ramps. Could be a dumb way of doing it but best I could think of atm.

Probably don't need to worry about having the wheels turn. Simply putting it into reverse, neutral, and drive with brake on will cycle the fluid

That's what I've done on other vehicles. This video suggests taking it to 2nd gear and I feel like the official ZF recommendation is the same. Idk that it would matter really but it's one small thing I'm willing to handle.
