Today was my lucky day.... :D

I just bought the oem console fridge with everything that goes with it.... ac lines and all...and it has the double lid. I was the first one to call and many came after me..... but were too late.:grinpimp:

I put on a AC tensioner pulley, fixed a blown light bulb on shifter, installed a shifter bushing.....one was missing completly, and sprayed on corrosionX on the frame (last step of my undercoating project)
 
Nice score Dutchy!
 
Hella 8" lights and HF 12k winch installed
 
I installed a pick n pull dome light on the rear hatch. Toasted the delicate LED lights in the process and a couple fuses so now I don't know if it works or not. I need to find the stock bulbs to make sure the wiring is correct before I tidy everything up. To lazy at the moment to look for the bulbs.

I got super lucky one day. I got a brand new electric one out of some guys garbage. (not OEM but it is coleman or something like that) it was still in the box. it's just as wide as the stock console but a tad bit longer. should fit nicely if I can bolt it down. I also found some other good stuff at the same time. I have yet to install it yet but it will happen. probably this summer.

I replaced my ac compressor belt which was somehow missing a large chunk of teeth. The following day I did the PHH bypass, not by choice and in a parking lot. The stock PHH lasted about 147k miles as a point of reference.
 
Gear replacement on front seats, both passenger and driver wee white gears were toast....

Ordered ARB bumper, 5.29 gears and Metal Tech sliders. Will call Slee Monday and order up the OME 2.5" lift.

Teeth... belt? Non oem?

I think 25" lift is a little excessive but each to their own :flipoff2:

You'll love the mt sliders. :cheers:

Yeah, standard V belt, napa brand. It was missing about 3" of teeth, the outer band of the belt was intact but the v portion was just gone. I can only attribute it to the fact that the AC hasn't worked for an unknown amount of time before I bought it. I recently charged it up with R134 and it works great but I think the added loads on the belt from the compressor cycling on and off must have caused it. Since a picture is worth a thousand words:

I went to the canyon with wife and son to feed duck/ thieving seagulls.
 
These trucks only like oem belts. Don't put aftermarket back on. You will be amazed how much quiter it is. Replace all three belts.
