Wow, can't believe I haven't stumbled across this build thread before. Great job on the truck, nice to see someone out there bringing these trucks back from the dark side with a little love and a lot of wallet! Love the gauges and black interior especially.

A little bit of maintenance today. Fuel filter and a new wiper blade. I'm trying out the Bosch InSight Series blades so I'll see how those perform compared to the other set of Bosch's I had on there previously (lot's of rain in San Diego ).
Angled Disconnect Tools, WIX Fuel Filter 33595, and Bosch 4920 InSight Wiper Blades (1 per package).
Old Fuel Filter.
The fuel filter was a pretty simple in and out. I only used the Yellow angled disconnect tool. I did not have to depressurize the system. I did have a tote underneath so I could let the fuel inside the fuel filter drain. You can use this Youtube video if you need a reference point:

I also added a couple of cosmetic things/replaced old worn items:
Carbon Fiber accents to the doors and also changed out the wiper blade arms and wiper cowl. I sprayed a few coats of UV clear over the arms and cowl before the install.
CF Accents
Old v New Wiper Arms
Old v New Wiper Cowl

I see what appears to be a Magnefine trans filter in your pics. How do you like it? Been thinking about getting one.
