LMAO…

Okay, nobody actually said it couldn’t be done but I’ve never seen anyone do it. This is the final frontier for me. I’ve went from the stock Alpine, to an $8,000 Focal & JL system, back to a hybrid of stock, and now closing it out with a 100% complete, “as factory” HK retrofit. I needed to have...

Working on assembling a set of summer wheels and (street) tires. Focus is getting the weight down as much as possible for more performance. Should also improve the handling and fuel economy too. I’ll probably get trashed for it but I just don’t go off road in the spring or summer. These Weld...

Went out on our first “major” snowfall of the season. Wanted to snap a few pics and maybe a video of some shenanigans. Wound up snowing too heavy for shooting much of anything. Did the shenanigans anyway but this is the only pic I liked.

Can someone post a picture of their driver’s side rear shock absorber. My clunking was finally traced to that shock, they replaced it and solved the issue. Unfortunately the dopes assembled the bottom half of the shock backwards. The shield faces the back instead of the front and broke when it...

Should be peak color in the next week or two, but I’ve already taken a few pics so far on my favorite gravel road.

Got this annoying knocking. Thought it was my Hellwig bar so I removed that. I lubed the slip yoke a week or two ago so I figured it probably wasn’t that. But I did disconnect the driveshaft again yesterday just to rule it out. Pretty much leaves anything on the rear suspension but I can’t...

After 8500 miles, I was starting to develop the clunk and a slight jolt when coming to a stop. There’s a service bulletin on the slip joint being dry, and it would have been fixed under warranty. But it’s also free to fix it myself so I did. Used Quicksilver Extreme Grease to lube the splines...

https://www.fox6now.com/news/milwaukee-fatal-hit-run-photos-truck-involved-released.amp More than likely stolen given the area. Well, given the entire city of Milwaukee to be honest. We don’t go anywhere near there because of all the reckless driving in stolen cars, people with no licenses etc.

Well, I’m at the 1 year mark with my lovely 2021 TRX Level 2. Just under 8000 miles. It uses no oil, no coolant, and no leaks. Lifetime fuel economy has crept up to 9.9 MPG according to the lie-o-meter. In the winter it was pegged between 7 and 8. So she hasn’t lived an easy life by any...

Got the S&B installed first thing this morning. Install was very simple, especially since I had already been in there once to fit the Super Stock tube. Took a little over an hour. Honestly the hardest part was struggling with the stupid clear plastic lid. Took some wrestling to get it in...

Installed the bolt-on Borla black chrome exhaust tips today. Subtle but I like them a lot more than the cheap looking barbecue painted stock ones. Adds a little bling.

Have to rotate my tires soon and am debating on painting my calipers. The factory zinc plating is already rusting in a couple tiny places so I figure it’s as good a time as any. What say you on a silver truck? Leaning red, but maybe yellow or gold would also look good? Or leave it alone?

Just another way to get the job done. I’ve seen people do kill switches on the fuel pump, e-brake, etc. This one I cooked up uses an off the shelf harness to interrupt power to the starter button. This allows retention of the remote start, and no wires to cut. Just about everything can be...

I installed the red Paragoptics ambient lighting kit while I was doing my stereo. Was a perfect time since everything I needed to get to was coming apart anyway. Forgot to post some pics of it sooner, but it’s super cool. It’s slightly visible in daylight too although they obviously wouldn’t be...

Worked on this filter test off and on over the last week. Always interesting to see what’s what. I will group them by brand and or supplier to stay within the attachment limit per post. The data chart, sourced from the manufacturer unless noted. Also attached as PDF. Start with the Mopars...

…and why is it getting the brown off the tires after a long winter? So satisfying. Anyone else doing some spring cleaning yet???

Doing mine incrementally because this stuff is eye-watering-ly expensive and a lot of work to install by myself. So far have the JL Stealthbox (not even mounted, just being stored in the truck so the wife doesn’t see it 😅). Also have a JL VX1000/1i DSP amp for the sub. And a PAC AP4-CH41 with...

We all know somebody with one. This is mine. 1966 Olds 442. Dad bought it in 1997. Had it painted, had the engine built, and pretty much shelved it. Small things would get done here and there, but nothing to get it even close to running. Lost interest. Side tracked with other stuff. He fell ill...

Got around to making a quick little video since a lot of people in the various TRX groups have asked about the AFE intake sound.
