How was the process? I need to do the same to mine. Where did you source paint

Added a Roofnest Litewing awning, and also placed an order with my local shop for 4.88 gears and Eaton e locker for the front! Factory rear locker needs service so I figured now is the time to re-gear and lock the front, especially with snowboard season coming up…
Tidied up some used rear drawers I got out of a 200 series had to build new wings etc but they came out fairly nice. Then took it for a drive to make sure there was no rattles haha

Nice work! I see yours turned out like mine. 20years in the paint
With those 35-in tires, do you find that you have a problem with acceleration and lower gas mileage? Does it need a gear reduction to make it respond like stock?

Yes. It’s physics.

Yea and no. The mileage seems about the same, although I still need to test that, and the shift points are a little weird now. Speedo and odometer are a bit off now, but I have new 4.88 gears and front e locker on order that will make it back to stock drivability at the expense of some top speed.
Got a 0302 code so I replaced a coil wire and spark plug, fixed it just fine and then the next day, voltage spike which caused ABS, traction control, battery and the brake lights all to come on--replaced alternator and running like a champ.
Assuming unrelated but ??
About 2 years ago I replaced my SAI pump and I swore I'd buy a topside creeper if I ever had to pull the intake again. Fast forward to last winter and I start throwing an SAI valve code when the temps were below 20 degrees. Once spring came and temps rose, the issue went away so I've had all this on the shelf since for about a year. I need to bite the bullet and replace this junk before it's too cold in the garage, which topside creeper did you end up buying?

Recently had the itch to do some type of repair/fix that wasn't essential or mechanical. So I decided to replace the trim below my passenger side windows. Mine was cracking really bad and made me cringe every time I washed the truck. Super easy replacement. Drivers side is in decent shape still. Didn't take an after photo.
At the same time I ordered new boots (4332469085) for my upper ball joints. Will hopefully tackle those soon.

For fall camping, desired to sleep in the vehicle instead of a tent. My 'quick cot' solution got a little more complicated than originally expected, but I had lots of envy from the tent campers when we were hit with a big rainstorm on the last night. Platform is in 2 halves, so front can easily be removed to allow the seat to fold up.
Presume you are single?
No - he sleeps on the passenger side floor
