Got the snorkel installed. Got the winch control box relocated. Funny thing, the snorkel took 2.5 hours. The control box took 8.5 hours. I though the snorkel would be the hard part. Once you get on board with drilling holes all over your truck, it goes quite quick and easy.

Better pictures will be coming.

Also, I broke a fender flare. YouTubes tells you they are hard to get off and easy to break. I can confirm this is true.

Tried and failed in a second attempt to put a leveling kit on the front.
It ain't as easy as the YouTube videos make it look. I didn't expect it to be, but still....
Just gonna pay the alignment shop to do it.
I'm not mad, just frustrated.
Yeah , that's why I got the dealer to do mine. To me it was worth it.

Is it just me, or does the paint on the black trucks seem reeeeeeaaaalllllly thin? Maybe, no primer? I have a couple of chips in various places and all show bare metal underneath.
i think it seems thin also, maybe we got skimmped on paint due to shortages. we can add extra coat of black paint to that list of removed items lol.

looks great! i kinda wish i had white blue or race red. black shows every lil spec of dirt and the snuggle bear could scratch the black lol.
I do like the black - for the first 45 minutes after a wash/wax! Nothing looks better! I had a silver 19 FX4 and now the white Tremor. I like the light colors lol

Took her to the Dealer to have the left brake light bulb replaced. Warranty covered. Spent several extra hours there because the parts guy dropped off the paperwork without the bulb so he had to do a return trip and bring it. That's like going to the grocery store and leaving with empty bags... :angry: :LOL: Stopped at AutoZone on the way home and picked a can of Mother's bug remover foam (on sale for 5.99) to remove the bugs that I picked up during Sat's trip.

Retired for now!
Added a tail pipe tip, front and rear door floor protectors, and a AVS aero skin hood protector. Not pictured is a swing away storage unit, a diamond plate big 3' X 18 tall by 2' deep" storage unit that fits in the bed as well, a 4 ' stubby antenna, a steering wheel cover, a center console insert and protective cover. And other items thanks to y'all and your crazy spending habits. I catch on too quick...LOL!!!

Poked around in Forscan to update my tire circumference to 2400, now the speedo is dead on. Turned on Bambi mode and added the off-road angle gauges.

And managed to get the 0422?-or whatever error. I think trying to add "turbo boost gauge" caused the error because it started a CEL, That went away after I changed the setting back.

I really like bambi mode. Glad I turned it on.
same here, the cost of the forscan setup alone was worth it for the extra illumination. the xlt and xl lights are not bad but they could be better. i feel like if i had just the xl head lamps and no fogs etc. i would be really straining to see at night. my eyes are like Squints Paladoris'.

Getting old sucks. I replaced the factory fogs with DD max yellow fogs. They are great on their own. Turn on bambi mode and I can halfway see at night again.?
