I will put one on the roof once I repair the broken sunroof slides. I needed to get some of the humidity out of the truck. I had vent shades on my previous trucks and this is my first mod to this one. I guess next home project is to get both my floor jacks operating properly. One needs pump rebuild, other just needs actuator repaired with o-rings. Then I can tackle the front calipers.....

Hahaha someone's funny today and absolutely do not leave your windows cracked anywhere in the Carolinas this weekend. It's starting to get deep around here. Lol

I guess my tires were worse. I about got stuck in a single inch of mud today so I picked up some new shoes. In their defense they had 76k ish miles on them and were at 2/32nds of tread. I'll get some better pics later when she is cleaned up a bit. They are 305/70r17 toyo at2 extremes.

Those should do the trick! Did you re-gear at some point? I'd think even 3.73s with those tires would bring your power down. Of course, you're probably at basically no altitude and I drive around at 7-10,000 feet, so...

tacked the caps in on the front driveshaft and fixed the fuel gauge issue.

Thank yall, I was tossing around the idea of going other directions but my last set did so well I couldn't change threads but these are an inch wider.

Ohio, I never did regear but whenever I tow I just lock out od. I'm getting a little play in my rearend so 4.10s may not be too far into my future.

Colin, your truck looks like a beast! It will definitely dwarf mine when it gets new shoes.
