Exchanged transmission fluid this afternoon. It needed it. Didn’t smell burnt but it sure wasn’t pretty:

Ok, so i’ll ask the question I’ve had in my head for a year or two—what the heck are these for? I see them on so many JDM trucks that I assumed they’re for people who simply must smoke during downpours....but I’m guessing that’s not really it....

Sleeping inside the truck you can crack a window to vent and won't be rained on
 
New wheel bearings, shock and rotor. I wanted to get both sides done this weekend, but it kicked my a$$. I could not get the CV axle out far enough to get c clip back on. I had to disassemble and re-assemble to regain my 2mm I lost. must have been too much grease on the spindle bearing or in general.

Did a quick and dirty refinish on my sliders. I hadn't realized how much abuse they'd taken in just 5 months. Nothing structural, but a lot more contact than I think I knew of. FYI, the duplicolor? rubberized bed coating in a spray can is TONS better than whatever the "Bed Armor" brand is that I used originally. The latter stuff was a PITA to spray, the former was so easy I could have done the whole truck.

Then I tossed in the Tough Dog gold medium rate coils I've been sitting on since last Summer almost. Replaced a set of OME 865s that were nice when stock, but not quite up to the extra weight in the truck now. It definitely feels flatter in turns. Will play with the shock adjustment over the next few days to find the right spot for highway travel.

BTW, that's Georgia dirt and clay on my frame, not rust.

Then when I washed my hands, I switched over to some cleaner work. I installed @Luke111 's LED high beam kit. Mine had been maladjusted for a few months and even when they were aimed properly, still sucked. I am very happy with the output from these little diodes. DRL function works as factory (provided your connections are all good!) and look great. I will fiddle with the height a little more maybe, but they're pretty much done. Easy install, highly recommended. Plus, Lou's level of service is excellent. Thanks Lou!
