Next, I have a career in the ethanol industry so I got a good deal with a really good incentive to to buy and install a FUEL FLEX INT. e85 conversion kit. So I switched over to e85 at 245 a gallon while 87 octane is 345 a gallon. I lost about 2-3 miles per gallon but I also installed a level and its been between 5 and -40 degrees the last few months here in mn. I also did a quick tune up cleaned my MAF changed oil air filter fuel filter oil filter

Next I installed a 32 inch led light bar in the space under my bumper. If you decide to do this go with the 30 inch bar the 32 was just too long that I had to remove the plastic trim on the inside and drill some holes In spots that was a huge pita. I also ordered 6k hids. As you can tell they are not6ks.
