I have wanted to purchase it in the past, but my local Walmarts do not stock it on the shelves. Lately I have been purchasing my oil from them online and having it shipped to my home for free. Problem is the price for Platinum is always the same, unlike the ultra which is always fluctuating...
I regularly use Pennzoil Platinum 5w30. For this trip I jumped up to Ultra Platinum as I knew I was going to be running an extended interval. Did the Ultra benefit me at all? I don’t know, but figured it didn’t hurt to run Pennzoil’s “best”.

Yesterday I changed the engine oil and rotated my tires after my trip last month to the PNW. I racked up a total of 10,487 miles between oil changes(changed engine oil weekend before I left), and 10,064 of those miles were on the trip alone. I am not one to let my oil change intervals to go that...
Here’s just one from my month trip to the PNW. Took this in the Sunrise parking lot of Mount Rainier NP. After this I did the hike out to the Mount Freemont Lookout Tower.
I have/had the same issue that you’re seeing. Noticed it a few years ago. Removed nearly the entire trim when install the Prinsu rack. I don’t understand why it happened either.
Kimber 1911 Pro RL
I had always wanted a Kimber 4” model(Pro TLE/RL ii)with a rail, but I believe they were discontinued a few years ago. That’s my assumption as I haven’t seen a new ones for sale in a bit, and they have not been listed on the Kimber website. Came with a single Kimber magazine...
Installed the RubiGrid dash mount made by Bulletpoint. On the passenger side is the tablet holder and the driver I’ll be mounting my wireless backup camera monitor when towing my small trailer.
Picked up two of the “scratch-off” brand DPFE sensors from rock auto. Forgot the clips up top on the sensor are not the squeeze type like the lower end of the hose. Mine is currently not giving me an issue, so I’ll swap it out when I get back from the PNW.
If you want to make it last, just keep up with the maintenance. I run a motorcraft oil filter/Pennzoil Platinum 5w30 and change the oil around 5k-6k miles. I replaced the transmission filter with the PPE deep pan. Is there a need for the deep pan versus the standard pan? Couldn’t tell you...
Installed the ARB OME Leaf Springs. Pain in the ass as they do not provide instructions, and the short 4-5 minute video they have on YouTube doesn’t go into much detail.
Truck rear sits higher now as expected. Took it for a drive around the block and noticed I now have a shudder on take off...
Hardware and Shackles arrived today from @Stage3Motorsports OME Rear Springs should arrive later this week. Should be my final mod prior to my trip to Oregon/Washington in August.
Update on the solar panel, it’s still mounted, and did not become a kite.
In the last 70+ days it has generated 3.8KWH per the app for the charge controller. In one of the photos you can even see where I was even in the triple digits in the end of March/beginning of April.
So far I am pleased...
