Finally installed the Loncky steering wheel cover. Was about a 5 hour project. Most of the time was doing the sewing (I have bad vision and can be a little anal, so it took longer than expected).

Depending on the size of the stump, pulling in reverse could be a good way to nuke your front diff. You'd be using the weak side of the gears, and that axle would have the majority of the traction.
I have had turbo for 4 years now. Put smallish Mishimoto catch can when everything was installed. Checked early on often, now in-between oil changes I get approx. 1/2 a tablespoon of oil. So it's doing it's job, I have a very good running engine...
The truck is mostly packed and ready to head out west later this week. I took care of a number of smaller odds and ends this weekend. I don't love hanging more stuff off the back, but I needed a spot for my propane tank so that's now riding on...

I am burning the “midnight oil” right now, well not exactly but after hours none the less.

Got lost in JV. Beat the piss out of the truck. Ended up at Pisgah. Stopped at the original Del Taco in Barstow. Drove home 3 hours straight as an arrow without so much as a rattle or squeak. Dragged bottom a few times. E&E’s did a great job...
Dissent is a relatively small/medium operation, basically born here on Ih8mud. I imagine it is difficult to update pricing with the constant changes in material cost/labor costs. They also offer semi-custom in some instances. Would you prefer...
