    Eh, I welded up these little holes in my bumper that were meant for bolts that hold on these cheese looking surround pieces.

    I finished up the lightbar, roof rack and new to me, OEM headlights with Morimoto stroke LED lowbeams...I'm hoping this version 4 of the LEDs do not cause dash lights...so far, all is well!

    Installed an AFE CAI that I got for $160 off the marketplace. Sounds awesome and the throttle response is much better. Probably will change out the filter when payday hits ;)

    I swapped my winter tires and wheels on and removed the rear Spidertrax 1.25 wheel spacers on the rear...the tires all appear more aligned in looks now...

    installed startx remote start. Took me 10 minutes to get this all done... what a pleasant and problem-free mod!

    @Irving Zisman Been looking at this myself! Did you replace the accessory belt with a recommended slightly shorter one and if so what length?

    Indeed, I did use a shorter belt. Mechman says to use a belt that is half an inch shorter than OEM. If you have the V8, I can save you the time and provide the Dayco part number 5060875. It is roughly half an inch shorter that OEM.
    If you dont have the V8, Mechman has a belt finder tool on their website: https://www.mechman.com/quick-belt-finder/

    Hope this helps.

    Just saw you have the 2005 V8. I guess the link will help those with the V6 lol.

    Put my winter tires on and cleaned my Throttle body. Was pretty grimey. After relearning the idle, the truck starts and idles lower than it previously did. So was happy to see that, as cold idle seemed high to me at 1500rpm.

    Upgraded my already outstanding Pioneer AVH-2550NEX from wired to wireless Carplay with this adapter from Amazon. Plug & play using the USB connection. Works perfectly.

    The big thing it’s plugged into is a USB cable intended to mount up to a surface. Already had that and will probably replace it with something more streamlined next time I have the dash opened up.

    Ordered an Asfir engine skid to replace my battered OEM piece. 10% off for Black Friday so $288 shipped for 1/4” aluminum. Placed my order, got an immediate automatic confirmation, then 45 minutes later an email saying the item was in stock and they’d be back in touch soon with tracking info. Had a FedEx tracking number ~90 minutes later. Really appreciate it when a company is on top of things.

    So those skid plates have oil filter access? Good deal for aluminum!
