De-badged, the driver/passenger doors. And burnt the paint! I'm hopeful it will polish out though.

Had Krown rust protection applied today, along with their salt eliminator wash of the under carriage.

Not a mod, but did one of the best things you can do. I made my last payment today.


Congratulations! I just joined you. Finally all mine.

Installed Banks air intake. They sent out the wrong window though, so I’ll have to make one out of plexiglass.

Drained the transmission fluid.  Last time I did it I replaced the oem pan with the Dorman version with the drain plug.  Draining the fluid was so much less messy and easier.  I have drained it and replaced the fluid a couple weeks ago but since that only replaces about 1/3rd of the fluid I did it again last weekend.  The first time I overfilled the tank aand had to suck some out. This time I must have put back too little initally beacuse when I drove it afterwards the trans shifted veery hard.  I added some more fluid and it shifts smoothly again.  The fluid color on the seconstll looked pretty brown.  How many times do most of you drain and replace the fluid when you do this?

I replace a gallon now every oil change. Is that overkill? Maybe. 😏

All my vehicles had recommend extended drains on transmission fluid from the factory. Even my wife’s car with severe service schedule had 60k service. The worst was my avalanche even with the original owner changing the motor oil every 3K miles. He ignored the transmission. It had 165K when I changed it. With the exception of my wife’s Genesis changing the transmission fluid is easier than changing the oil. The Hondas have drains, the avalanche through the dipstick. I chose drain and fill every 30K miles, 3 times a week apart. I have no problem telling if the fluid is turning. The color and smell are apparent. My recent purchase a Ridgeline even though the owner was diligent with service. Had two drop and fills in 160K miles per dealer recommendation. He didn’t know better most people don’t. The fluid was slightly turning without smelling burnt. Now after 3 drop and fills, pink and fresh.

Lol it wasn't overall terrible to do, maybe 2 hours? But I took the wheel off the truck, impossible to do it inside

Where did you get the wheel wrap from?
