Now I've got to figure out if I'm going to keep the 100w off roads on the bumper. These off road lights are so bright now with the hella bulbs. If the led's are brighter than the hellas, it's going to be amazing! That's 200w up front wired into the highbeams and 300w sitting up top on the cab guard. I've got the 3g 130 and a new battery, so it should be fine. I might wire the bar through another relay and trigger it with the high beams too. I can remember to turn off the high beams allot faster than reaching for a separate switch while running the back roads. I'll have to let you know when it's all wired up and holler at you when I head to Alek again to see my Grandparents. I still need to hit Pipes down there and see what kind of selection they've got.

Might be time to start building my relay panel under the hood too. I've got way too many hot wires run from the battery.

So, apparently the previous owner(s) didn't change the spark plugs, in ever. 3 out of 8 boots tore when removing them from the plugs..

I do like that the 9th gen engine bay is spacious, but those spark plugs are impossible to reach!

I only thought of it when I had to do my freeze plugs without taking out the engine.

I couldn't get a better pic. Its stuffed in one of those build-your-own car ports and its not running right now. Just need to clean the heads and put it back together and get a few grill pieces. I assume its the SCS because of the 140 wheelbase and spare tire on the side of the truck.
