Great deal and happy trails to the moon!

Dee Zee Tailgate assist installed
Could not be happier for $25 |
That Tgate assist is worth every cent. I had it on my last truck, and this one, and if I don't have the OEM one on the next, it'll have the DeeZee.

Nice job working with those running boards, I heard they can be a little finnicky

It’s amazing how much easier a job is with the right tools! |
On my last oil change notice front passenger rotor was groved. Replaced them with stop tech slotted rotors and pads, $254 for the kit from stage 3
first brake job, 157210 miles lol https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.f15...98d3a903c.jpeg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.f15...c7f39ff3a.jpeg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.f15...1fb871ec9.jpeg |
Ended up having my wifes uncle turn these rotors for me!
They look brand new and I am going to hag on to them for the next go around |
Just picked up a Lariat Grill for my XLT with 35K miles on it for $20!
install went well, lost only one push pin. Feel like I need chrome wheels now... https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.f15...1b43697ba.jpeg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.f15...28e5701b8.jpeg |

I think those factory 17s look good with a meaty tire on them. I would leave them.
