Tested out my new foam cannon. Need to add more soap next time so it sticks longer. Was good for a quick wash though since the truck wasn't that dirty

Bad Ass build thread blue!...

Did some more vinyl work.  Didn't realize this piece was separate from the rest of the dash so it never got covered when I did the rest of the interior trims.  Love how it turned out.

Installed a rough country leveling kit, bilstein 5100s, spark plugs, and plug wires.

Got in my 5100's for the front to match the 5125 that I installed in the rear. I have a 4.5" Zone lift and needed custom length rear shocks. I hope the front changes the ride as much as the rears did! Rancho rebound sucks bad. Not news here or to me, as I have owned nearly every year model Z71 since 2004, but since my work truck is a TRD Tundra with Bilsteins I'm reminded everyday how bad Ranchos ride. Curious who the person was who signed off on this garbage[emoji53]

Oil change. 8 quarts of Quaker and a Purolator Boss and he's good to go for another 5k

 

On a very positive note I managed to grease the tie rod ends without making a titanic mess. VERY pleased about that. 

 

Third time's the charm on my GM Borla system. A little annoyed :mad: that a $1000 exhaust system requires box end wrench modification, but it's all said and done, it sits perfect now, so I'm happy :thumbs:

Elaborate on this please.  I'm not happy with how mine sits either.  I have the dual exit behind the passenger wheel version and the tips angle upward.  I'd like them to angle slightly downward.  Looks dumb right now.

Loosen it at the nearest clamp that will allow you do rotate horizontally,  rotate it the way you want it. You may have to play the fine tune game with other clamps as well. Pay attention to where it goes over the axle, try not to bind,bff or over load any isolators, it will give you negative feedback.

Started laying out my el wiring today.. need some help with the tie breaker vote.. red or blue?

The el wire is temporarily setup.. the finished setup will end at the armrest like the daytime photos and not extend down along the switch panel. The problem I have is red or blue.. daytime the red pops more on the door panel but night time the blue matches the oem dash light

Red pulls out the needles in the gauges but that't it. I say the blue looks better. Looks more factory

 

can you share a link to the EL wire you got and can you share how you put it in?

Installed a Tyger rolling tonneau cover and, in doing so, discovered I had OEM bed lights.  Next project, removing the lights and installing LED strips in the bed.

If you get the style of el wire that is like welting then you can simply push it into the cracks in your trim/upholstery. I did a quick eBay search and this is the kind to look for:
