Hauled off the load of scrap, 82 bucks richer, came home again and hauled off a load of trash. Then followed my uncle down to get his decommissioned truck inspected so send can be put back on the road

Made the 600 mile trip from Vancouver to Calgary to haul the sled to my Uncle's.

Hope y'all had a nice Thanksgiving. Today I installed the Kicker sub that's part of the soundstage upgrade kit. Couldn't find any reasonably priced full kits for the SuperCab, so I opted for the sub-only kit. Pretty easy install, as usual the most difficult part was working in the tiniest little places with big hands... Barely had any room to solder the wires. Haven't gotten a chance to play around with the settings yet, maybe before I leave tonight or tomorrow!

Got a buddy tearing apart the front so we can get the leveling kit on! Pretty jacked.

2 hour install has turned to 4 due to rust and a busted sway bar link. Awesome.

Backed it into the barn, and loaded a dining room table, 2 leafs, and 4 chairs for my daughter. Gave me a little extra room to collect more crap. I mean truck parts.

Leveling kit update: the closest Autozone didn't have a sway bar link. So we traveled about 10 miles to pick it up. Neighbors are going to be pissed due to the amount of noise that will be coming from my garage tonight.

Just Amazon prime some moog away bar links, they aren't life or death for a few days just take it easy when turning

We found a moog link and are putting it on. We're having a tough time dropping the steering knuckle out. So we're removing the kit and starting over on another day.

Final update: decided to scratch the project and keep it stock for a couple of weeks. We're going to take the truck to his uncle's shop. We replaced the sway bar link that busted. We are going to the truck on the ground to try and tighten the steering knuckle all of the way up. For some reason the nut is just spinning the UCA.
