Cleaned my air filter, changed my oil with rotella 15w 40. Probably the last time of the summer with that weight.
And i fixed my hd coil retainers. If my coils move now its only because, i dunno they shouldn't move ever

I cut a hole and ran my wires through the roof. I'm very satisfied with the way it turned out. I will be suprised to see even the slightest drop come through. I used water pump gasket sealer to seal it so it will handle hot temperatures

Did you go from stock to that height? Trying to figure out how much actual height I'll get after my future 3.5" RC lift and 31s. I read that you gain .5" with every tire size you increase.

brought it wheeling out to the trails by the CT river, used it to do some logging (pulling choker'd bundles of firewood/logs to the fire pit on a sandbar), and currently using it as a replacement lock for my shed because some cretin popped the lock earlier. just saw the bastard going thru the bushes again, (4am) called the cops and chased him off with a 12ga. nothing makes thieves think twice more than the sound of a mossberg racking haha.

Well its hard for me to tell cuz how I cut my fenders...I will go measure its true lift after work for ya...but most the time your right for every tire size its like.1/2"..most lifts are going to give you exactly what it says ..that's assuming your not negative in the back, I put a block in the back for a true 3" but ima get new spring all together sometime in the future

I bought some pop rivets and some new drill bits. So when I get home from work I can start on trimming my fenders and performing the cut and fold on the rear 1/4's .

Looks really nice! I'm running stock suspension (no sag) on tiny 225s. It was just an antsy curiosity lol!

Going down to the JY today, see what I can find. Maybe attempt to replace the headlight if I can get this darn rusted screws out. I PBBlasted the crap out of them and still didn't budge the last time I tried

I'll take some pics of where I ran the wires. I hid them pretty good! But I don't have any pictures of the bottom side of the gasket if that's what your asking
