Finally installed my oem clear corners
 
E-brake handle randomly had no tension in it. Could barely peek into the slot and figured the end of the cable had popped off the lever somehow. Well, that's super fun thing to get to, seats out and console out. Popped the end back into the slot on the handle, cleaned up some spilt gunk under the console, buttoned everything back up.
 
Link to these?



I bought these then quickly found the 1 piece full headlight pair & went that route. Corners are obviously cheaper than the full headlight housing but mine were super dingy so decided to replace all of it.
 
SPC rear lower control arms. I definitely felt the difference afterwards. Truck tracks straight now, no more wandering. Will upgrade rear uppers later. Merry Christmas Mudders!

Truck was getting 12mpg highway. Did some PM today.

2 plugs had backed out slightly, so had a little blow by, gaps were pretty wide. I honestly dont remember when I did the plugs, maybe 125k ago. Put in new Denso Iridium.

I did however remember to do drivers side first as it is the biggest PITA. For the back plug, use plug socket, then universal, then 4inch extension. way easier to get out past the stupid AC system. Passenger side easy. found the Pass side PCV bypass hose is split at the valve cover connection, so ordered that.

And then the stupidest design on a 100 series. The lovely plastic T fitting for the rear heater. I replaced them 150k ago. The back one was leaking. but I had 2 sitting in my parts box. The top of the neck came off inside the hose, always fun trying to make sure you got all the pieces out. I was wondering why I was having to refill the puke tank every oil change.

Just wrapped up replacing the front diff bushings, was actually a whole heck of a lot easier than I thought it would be. Spent about 20 minutes whacking the front bushing with a hammer and cold chisel. The new bushing went in flawlessly. Didn’t take more than 2 minutes to press that one in.

Original 260k bushing:

Was a lovely and frosty low 30s as I worked outside. It started to snow also lol.
