I did front break pads, drivers side tie rod end and a new track bar last night. Waiting for my passenger side tie rod end and my tail light to come and I should be good for inspection next month.

well, i finally bought a 14x3 and put it on...it was a tight squeeze, and i didnt have to make a bolt cause i stole the airhat mounting plate and bolt from a durango/dakota, and just got a 4" carriage bolt from home depot, and of course i had to get a riser from autozone, but hey, shes in now, and boy did it make a difference... i also put my replacement HIDs in, and now they both match color.

next on the list trans governor pressure sensor and solenoid.

Removed throttle body, cleaned it and replaced the IAC. Looked in the intake and seen enough oil to make an Arab happy....plenum fix next.

I got the tire pressure right and checked all the fluids, then piled some jacks/spare tire/shovel/straps/shackles and a handful of tools into it for the trip tomorrow.

Whats the size of the df decal? By the looks of it, it should fit in the blank space above or below the sliding window. I didn't get any cause I like my stickers to be even lol. Just noticed that black space today and thought it would be a perfect place for the df decal. Maybe get a Firefighter/EMT decal for the other space

Ah where to start. I tapped into my reverse light wire for when I put my LED strip on. Some might say I did more work then needed but I like my way better. I removed the tail light cut the hot wire to the reverse light and soldered in a third wire. I ran the 3rd wire down to behind the bumper and put on a female connector. This way if my LED strip ever goes bad and can just unplug it and plug in a new one. I can also wire it to other lights if I ever wanted too. It also works out that I can just get a new harness right there if I would ever need to cause I didn't cut into the truck harness that runs to the front

I also pretty much finished running all the wires for my air horns. I need to put ends on 2 of the wires and on the valve. I was a little confused on the relay setup but figured it out after some looking. The "trigger" wire is suppose to go to your ignition so the compressor can't kick on while the truck is off. I ended up wiring that to one of my switches in my center console box. Just need to mount all the parts now

Here's a pic of the horns. tank, and compressor
