Awesome on the icebox install, do you still have a cd changer?
Awesome on the icebox install, do you still have a cd changer?
It's the little a things that count.
I would to upgrade my LX's lights. I want the "that guy's an a$$hole" brightness.
My first post in this section. I finally got my jack and jack stands so I did my oil change and drive shaft lube today. I was going to rotate the tires but I found out the front wheel lug nuts are all on too tight as well as one of the ones in the rear. I will have to take it to a shop and use an air ratchet to get them loose and then re tighten with the lug wrench.
I had the usual first time questions, where to put the jack, to jack up the front, where was the oil drain plug and where are the grease zerks. Jack stand placement becomes sorta obvious once you get under the truck.
I didnt really get a sense of how big and heavy and solid the thing is until I got under it. I whole heartedly say get the biggest jack you can afford/physically pick up and get the biggest jack stands that you can. I'd take 6 ton HF stands on sale over anyone elses 3 ton or 4 ton stands, just because they're beefier. I wasn't scared being under the truck on the 3 ton stands... but the jack was also under it and the tires where on it.
One thing I will say for doing oil changes and such yourself. I discovered the cover for the oil filter is missing, the lug nuts are on to tight and that it really needed grease in many of the zerks. Also in this heat, the I think all the jack stands sank some into the asphalt.
The truck really runs smoother now that I pumped grease into the zerks. No thud in the rear. Grease only oozed out of the 3 of the zerks and I missed the front propeller shaft one so I will probably be back under it next week. I took picts of the zerks and will post if anyone is interested.
I get the feeling that I should be able to hide a air horn in this spot under the truck
Warren that's awesome and has me a thinkin' !
Edit: wonder if that would work with the USDM arm rests?
