    Holes in muffler = no locker

    I just lost my rear locker to holes in the muffler, and the FlowMaster was an easy ~125 replacement. Thankfully the wiring fix was only another ~100. Doesn't sound as throaty though now that the exhaust is going out the back of the truck.

    What have you done to your 100 Series this week?

    You know if you've got room to move those seats outboard a bit more, you can drop a small fridge between them. Dometic CD30 or an Alpicool 15L might both fit.

    So I thought fixing the broken sway bar link would end my front suspension creak...

    So I've had a squeak/creak in the front suspension for a while, and dug into it today expecting for find a broken sway bar link (which I found). I swapped out the broken sway bar link, and the squeak/creak persists. It seems most consistent on bumps (speed bumps are a guaranteed replication)...
