Twin grills and rotisserie…Hayward and the old Wet Institute. The tanks are getting scarce out there.
Stainless reinforcement for the rotisserie posts on the corners…the discs from the bottom of the old PacFab DE cluster.

As a fellow pool guy, I approve

Installed a B&W Turnover ball in my 2022 Laramie. Royal pain in the rear.

Was going to make myself one of those fancy fire rings today. Only material handy was ice blocks soo I scrapped that idea. Would have melted in six months anyways.

Installed some ditch lights. I found some mounts for a Jeep Gladiator that I could put them in the back bed and have the option to light up the truck bed or anywhere along the side of the truck. I ordered a set of bezel rings that will match the truck but they haven't come in yet. I think KC is discontinuing these lights which probably has something to do with the delay.

I see a lot of people installing “ditch” lights. In all my years of driving and off-roading I’ve never needed to see what’s in a ditch next to me.

I’m sure there’s a reason for these, but what is it?

In for the answer

I don't have ditch lights, but do have two small spots on the front pointing outward to serve the same effect. They were incredibly helpful last week every morning while driving to the trailhead before heading out hunting in the dark. Allowed me to see deer just off the trail much sooner than I'd have been able to without them.

For me, it's a Band-Aid till I can drop the money for a golight.

Close, there are lots of chain linked fences at these cell tower sites.

The deer/ moose/ elk here will come smoking out of a ditch and broadside you. The more you can see the better. That being said I see drivers that don’t even lift when game is in the ditch so everyone to their own I guess. The good guy thing to do here is to hit the 4-ways for several seconds as you pass game so the driver behind has a head’s up.

Changed the oil, filter, and both fuel filters.

Only 7,627 miles on that oil and all the filters but 18 months. Saw a little milk on the inside of the oil cap, but the truck has been sitting and wasn't really warmed up. Didn't see that last time I added oil. My toolbox has also been catching a lot of condensation with the weather lately.

I'll have to keep an eye on it as I also had to add 1600ml of antifreeze a few weeks ago. That may be related to the Y78 but the low coolant light came on quite unexpectedly assuming they had the level set properly. Going to send the oil out for analysis too.

Filters looked pretty good IMHO. I think with the CP3 recall done, I'm def going to push these to 100% life on the gauge from now on so probably only change them every 2+ years. PITA for sure. The rear "drained" then leaked fuel everywhere when I unscrewed it. I had to unbolt the Aisin dipstick bracket to get the front one out. That 28mm shallow socket sure made quick work of the caps.

Took a picture of the blown RR shock.

Disappointing @ only 11.588 miles and I go Elk hunting Friday.

No wonder it's been hopping around like a Jack F *** ing Russel Terrier on meth.



FWIW, I can't believe the rust under this thing. My 04 didn't look like this for probably 12+ years.

They must be skimping on paint.

Good luck on the analysis. Hopefully that milkiness is just condensation and not your potentially missing coolant.

Should have rust checked your truck when it was brand new.

I'm nervous I may have a blown shock, too. Not sure if it's that, or if it's residue from fluid film. Keeping an eye on it, but seeing you have one has me a little more nervous. Week sauce, man.
