I replaced my tow hooks on my RST 3.0 with the Red Forged Rough Country ones....and I ended up just cutting that pesky bolt that can't be removed with a reciprocating saw and installing a new bolt from the hardware store.....no radiator remove just a bit of aggravation....

I thought about that, but decided against it. I had the Trailboss red ones but returned them.

I've thought about getting those hooks then plastidip in white to match my summit.

But today's project.. finally replaced the last remaining factory speakers. For the price, these are great, even being underpowered..(stock non Bose). Def fills in the void that was def missing with the fosgate sub and skar speakers

Side Step Sunday: Finally decided to upgrade my side steps to these from AMP (Powerstep Xtreme). Overall these are great, drop automatically when either front or back door is opened (each side of the truck is separate), has a 2 second delay after closing the door & has built in LED’s. Get it if your on the fence about it.

Got my 2" RC level and 1.5" ProRyde blocks installed. Currently have ~.5" of rake, will see if it changes after the alignment tomorrow. Getting tint done tomorrow and the new tires are also ordered.

How does it ride with the RC 2” level?

Have them on my truck as well and love them. Fiancee doesn't have to jump into the truck anymore (3" lift and 37s) and I don't have to worry about the step getting caught on something offroad.

I got it off eBay and it is surprisingly decent quality.

I took the S&B intake box out and replaced it with the OEM air box and an aFe Pro Dry S filter. I left the S&B tube to the turbo in. I want see what kind of mileage I will get with the stock air box and Stillen scoop.

I have not driven it yet, but can tell a HUGE difference in the amount of air being pulled in from the duct at the Stillen scoop.

I've been considering that Stillen scoop- how do you like it?

I like it. The truck does seem to have better throttle response with it. It helps draw in more air into the intake over the factory piece.

Hello all. So, my ‘20 trail boss got a new front differential cover this afternoon. I have the 8.25” front differential, supplier SU5 (AAM).

sorry, the above picture is upside down…I was laying on my back in the driveway and thought about it last second.

No, it doesn’t leak.

I started with a factory cover from GMPartsDirect.com, and ordered a 1/2” NPT Allstar Performance weld-in steel drain plug and bung on Amazon.

my brother works with a welder (professional, welded at Dominion Energy for 30 years), and they MIG welded it from the inside.

after I got it home, it was time to tap out the bung a little more to get the plug to sink into the bung a little further and be flush on the outside. At its current location, the neodymium magnet clears the ring gear by 1/4”. I fastened the magnet to the drain plug with Loctite 638 retaining compound.

if it weren’t for the three top bolts being next to impossible to remove, it would have gotten done much quicker than the 3 hours it took me. I used 1.57 quarts of LucasOil Synthetic, 80w-90 gear oil (red and black bottle). Torqued the fasteners in a cross-cross pattern to 18 ft.-lbs. like the service manual calls for. After bolting the skid plate back on, I’m on to the next project.
